I was desperate. But it was a turn.
I've joined a group of avid skiers who wish to ski all the time. Well, at least every month. I've probably missed a few over the years, even if I have done a lot of summer skiing. But I won't miss any further ones! It is July 31, and time to find a turn, somewhere, anywhere!

Most years, the skiing at Arapahoe Basin, Colorado just starts to get really fun in the end of May.
