Skiers: It's Almost Time

Let me make it clear right away that I'm not a skier; Gregg and David are. My brother, Jim, and sister-in-law, Caroline, both LOVE to ski. Our nephew Phil is a snowboarder; other nieces and nephews are passionate about the skiiing, as well (Andrea, Mike, Joey, etc.).

It's almost that time of year, here. David is working on me, almost DAILY, to take a ski lesson and try it. He is here right now, using his latest sales pitch.

In case you are not familiar with the filmmaker Warren Miller, he makes movies about skiing, and attending one is a sort of annual "kick-off" to the season, in these parts. We attended one of the showings with Jim and Caroline a few weeks ago.

Even for a non-skiier (hey, I like to snowshoe!), it was a gorgeous and exciting film.

Happy Ski Season to all of you skiers!
