Picture of My Son and me up at Lake tahoe Skiing this past Tuesday
Yeah, everything was more fun and easier. The funniest thing is that the only times that I fell was at the easy places where you were supposed to slow down at trail merges and such. My skis would get stuck in a grove or something and I fell a couple times, but got up easy enough. It also didn't hurt nearly as much to fall. I never fell going down the harder parts and it was embarassing to fall at such beginner spots, but oh well....
I hear ya. At 48 years of age, I really don't like falling. I take far fewer chances than I did 20 years ago. But I fell anyway. The powder was so stinkin' deep where we were skiing that it really didn't hurt though. It had snowed about 7 feet in the past 9 days and it was pretty tough going.
The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.
