1/5/07

Last night I went night skiing with Greg, Roy and Greg's son Russel. When I started skiing with Greg seven years ago Russel was in grade school. Now he can ski better than I can. It's amazing that he's nearly an adult now.
It was a good night of skiing - there was some new snow at Alpental. In fact, there is now a surprising amount of snow in the mountains for January. I had my first serious wipe out of the ski season, losing both skis when I crashed while travelling on the high traverse from the right side of the ski lift. As usual, we left Alpental at around 10:30 and rolled into Seattle around midnight.
It looks like there will be much more snow in the mountains tomorrow morning. A cold, blustery storm system moved in on Seattle today, rattling the windows in my office with wind and rain. I had to go and visit a new site for a cleint this afternoon. It was freezing out, and I got soaked just walking around the block.
At lunch I saw a cabin on the Windermere real estate site while I was looking for cross country trails near Snoqualmie Pass. The cabin is also near Snoqualmie, and only costs $80,000.00. Sort of tempting, really, but I have a feeling I couldn't bring myslef to part with that much money.
