Snow Sick




Got up to the slopes on Tuesday, go figure that same day I was to get crazy sick. The day started off like any other ski day, up early and still mostly asleep when I jump in the Jeep, and on the way the day just started getting worse. I started feeling sick, then I realized I forgot my phone, and then it wouldn't stop raining, the closer I got to the slopes it still wouldn't stop raining, until I got right up to the parking lot and it started snowing... and the wind started blowing. At this point I really started feeling cruddy, but I made it all the way up there and passes were cheap so I put on an extra layer and hit it. It was really windy on the way up and the snow was not real great but it was something. They closed the upper mountain so the highest that was open was Forest Queen, a side of the mountain I rarely see, so I didn't really know where to ride. I found some pretty sweet runs with some fresh lines but by about 11:00 it was getting so warm that the snow was getting slushy and what was once snow was frozen rain and what was then frozen rain was slush. By that time I started feeling really tired and sick so I took a break in the lodge and it went down hill from there. I called it quits and headed home which was a really good thing because I barley made it home before I crashed for the rest of the day, and for the next 2 days for that matter. It hit hard and fast, but its the first time I've been sick, since swine flu awhile back.

Today Riss and I just hung out, it was awesome! Hit downtown and checked out the Motorcycle Toy Run, that was a sight, and hung out at Sizizi's and had the best Chi Tea I've ever had. Although Riss felt like she was being watched:
