Now that the year is drawing to a close, what were some of your memorable ski- or forum-related moments this year?
I have a few:
• Meeting and skiing with the Divas at Solitude during Diva Week in Utah;
• Meeting and skiing with the Divas at Okemo during Okemo Diva Day;
• Breaking a personal record of ski days, with 63 days for the '07-'08 season. This meant LOTS of fun days on the snow;
• Nearly destroying my nearly new Queen Attivas at Magic Mountain (hey, it was memorable, all right!)
;
• Hearing Vanhoskier "Woo Hoo" with excitement after a run with me and SNWL at Okemo. I don't think I've ever seen such an out and out expression of joy while skiing. You had to be there;
• Seeing Pequinita collapse at Alta midway down a run after bootpacking up and skiing down, saying "This is so hard when you're 30!" Try it at 53!
• Getting to try next year's skis at the industry demo days at Stratton in February. I felt like a kid in a candy store!
• Getting TheSkiDiva sign on Good Morning America;
• Expanding the site to include an E-store for great TheSkiDiva.com gear, a directory of women's ski resources, and a new home page with ski news and member pix;
• Publishing TheSkiDiva.com Cooks!, a cookbook with recipes submitted by forum members;
• Getting a publisher for my ski-related mystery, tentatively called DOUBLE BLACK: A SKI DIVA MYSTERY, and coming from St. Martin's Press in January, 2010;
• Passing 1,000 members in the forum.
Looks like it was a year to remember!!!!
What about you?
