Playing Hooky

Core members of the Waterstone Hiking Club decided that a cold weather adventure was needed for our next outing. Mysteriously, seven Waterstone staff members called in sick on Monday, citing flu-like symptoms and a hacking cough*.

It turned out that I was the only skier of the group. The other girls decided that snowboarding was way cooler than skiing. They spent the morning practicing their heel edge turns. I learned how to snowboard in college (thank you Linday and Peter) and decided that I should practice my skiing. I had a nice lesson in the morning and then met up with the girls for lunch and an afternoon session.
The Team.

*I must confess: We had the permission of our bosses to ditch work for the day. Yes, our bosses are awesome...
