Day One - Ow...Ow...Ow!

From Steamboat 2010

On Saturday, as we bustled about trying to get ready for the trip, I managed to do something to my knee as I was getting into the car. There was a distinct "pop" followed by severe pain. My knee remained stiff through the day yesterday and still is a bit now. As a result, I approached my skiing with no small amount of trepidation. I began the day skiing very cautiously, but my knee seemed fine, so I gradually started pushing the difficulty level. My knee survived the day with barely a wimper, but my thighs are seriously telling me how out of shape I've gotten! Every step aches, especially when stairs are involved. This is pretty normal for a first ski day, and hopefully things will improve tomorrow.

Even though this is our fourth year skiing here at Steamboat, we decided to take the free mountain tour offered by the Mountain Ambassadors. There was little he could show us that we didn't already know, but we had fun skiing with someone who is a regular skier here, and I think he had fun skiing with the girls.

It was a bit chilly this morning, and the top of the mountain was foggy most of the day, but there was fresh powder on the mountain, and the skiing was great. It looks like we're going to have another week of excellent skiing.

Have fun!

We're on to our 6th or maybe 7th day of sunshine here, so I'm glad someone is having the proper season! And enjoying it!
