Lars and Aaron (with some help) prepared the rinks...  6 teams playing on 2 rinks, a day long event.   What a wonderfully Canadian game!

Ski Night

Living in Chelsea we are so lucky -- there are 2 ski hills that are 15 minutes away, there are 2 more that are 20 minutes away and bigger hills about an hour away.  How many people can say that? 


Seeing as how today was MUCH warmer than yesterday, you know it was only -15c by this afternoon, and today was 2 for 1 at Camp Fortune, we as a family went for a family ski.  As soon as the kids got off the bus and had a snack, we packed ourselves for the 15 minute drive to ski!  

The sun started to set with little fluffy flakes of snow.  We took a picture.  I have to say an iphone photo does NOT give the sunset justice.   Even as we got the phone out to take a picture, the moment was almost gone.  (Please note, yes this is me in the picture... this will be one of the few pictures you will find of me since it is usually me holding the camera)

The kids only started skiing this winter - I am amazed at how quickly they learn!  I think part of it is they are not scared to fall and hurt themselves...   


I on the other hand started back after a 15 year break.  My first time back on the chairlift I had a small panic attack "HOW AM I GOING TO GET OFF THIS THING??"  I almost thought I might have to go back down on the chair lift.   Somehow everything remembered how to get off and more importantly how to ski.  


Everyone did tell me that it was like riding a bike (I guess they haven't seen me ride a bike...)  Yes, it is just like riding a bike.
