Monday i drove up to Ski Santa Fe. I got in about 4 hours of snowboarding, talked to lots of people on the lift, did about 5 runs with a boarder about my age. Great guy, took me through some moderate bumps, that was fun to do a few times but kind of hard work. The snow was good. Everyone told me my timing was right, they had been short of snow until last week. I wished i had been there right after the storms but i didn't want to complain. I stayed on the groomers pretty much, and they stayed smooth and predictable thru the day. I wiped out twice, but not badly. I was on the blue runs mostly, started looking for greens at the end, so as to prolong my day safely. I had to make sure to get my $60 worth. The locals told me the deal was to buy the January pass for under $200 i think, and come a whole bunch, and then be entitled to $40 lift tickets for the rest of the season. Probably did 20 runs of 1000 vertical feet each, but as Kathi knows, i may err on the plus side.
Talked strawbale with a guy from Albuquerque, and i told him about our friend Eric's former house in Rio Rancho, and he actually could tell from my description that he had seen it. Small World!
