Skiing...

So Cathy and I may try to go downhill skiing with a friend and his fiancee from work. We would probably be just heading over to Mount Brighton. They can make their own snow, and the cost doesn't seem to be too outrageous. So basically, as long as it's relatively cold out, we shouldn't have any issues going skiing.

They had a deal that I found on their website the other day where you got an hour of instruction, the rental equipment, and the lift tickets for a relatively low price.

I thought it would be a fun thing for us to try because it seems like we're both getting sick of being cooped up in the house all the time during the winter. I found an article on the web about if you don't seem to like the snow and cold, the best thing to do is to find something that you enjoy that takes place in the snow...like skiing.

I had originally thought about some snowshoes, but the snow just doesn't seem reliable enough to purchase those. The downhill skiing would be a bit more logical because they can make the snow even when there isn't a lot of it on the ground.

So, I figure we'll go give it a shot sometime in the next couple of weeks...and if we like it, then maybe at the end of the winter we can try getting our own equipment when it all goes on sale at the sporting goods stores.
