Buzz, It's probably a short term mind set that will ease up once the baby is there and she realizes that life does in fact continue. Both years my daughters were born I just learned that the baby comes first. Instead of lamenting what you don't have, embrace what you do. Cherish this time with your wife and do everything you can to keep her happy.
At the end of the day you will either look back at this experience as the magical one it could be, or as one of the low points in your marriage. Sacrifice now mate, it will be worth it in the long run.
(and don't forget that if you go skiing every sunday on your & her day off, leaving her at home feeling abandoned and that you don't care about her - your life will become hell)
--this is the same girl that went to the Hood summit with you this summer. She will snap back to her old ways soon.

Good words, frz.
Yeah, DC summit, definitely. I didn't say I wasn't going to do any skiing, just that normally by this time I've already booked a trip to Whistler, bought some new gear, and spent lots of spare time thinking about skiing. None of the above so far.

Kids, Skiing and Ladies

I highly recommend having 2 close in age and buying radios so they can sit out a few runs together without you worrying! What the Hell...in a perfect world they'd just be born knowing how to ski.
Another cool thing about skiing with your kids is that you can really improve your form because you're trying to go so slow and turn so much so you don't get ahead of them. BTW, kids love all the cool things that guys complain SOME girls don't like as much as them (rails, jumps, glades, crashes....)
Being pregnant and not able to ski certainly can add to feelings of sorrow and ski envy...Be nice to her. It isn't easy being two.."Shhhh! I hear a snowflake!"
