POWDER POWER!
I have a confession... When I was 10 or 11, I got me and my BFF Valerie t-shirts that said "POWDER PRINCESS" in giant sparkly blue letters. (Don't make fun! That's not even the confession part...) If I still had it I'd have worn it today under all my clothes, because the snow was SO MUCH FUN!
Though these storms have been quite a nuisance to many across the country, I really could not be more delighted. There were 7" of snowfall reported this morning, but it didn't stop snowing all day. By the end, we were skiing in knee-deep powder in some parts. We must have gotten at least a foot in the past 24 hours! Some kids got to skip school, others spent today waiting for delayed flights, I spent the day practicing my rebound retraction. That's what you get for skiing with two former instructors. Gotta say though, I feel like I'm skiing better than ever before. The helmet helps the fearlessness. Also, boot warmers.
I'm pooped from today. Curling up by the fire and checking out this funny book from 1967... The instructions are split into three groups: 'If you are a gifted or bold skier,' 'If you are a cautious skier,' and 'If you are a very cautious skier.'

OUTTA HERE!
Do any of you ever feel like you just need to up and GO? I've only been back in LA for ten days and I'm already bored. I love being home at the beach, sunset bike rides, my friends, and my neighborhood spots, but I'm afraid I'm infected with a serious case of the travel bug. I can't help but get bored and dream about the next places on my checklist. I've just booked myself an 8:30am flight to Denver tomorrow morning. I plan to take full advantage of my season pass, really work on my skiing and maybe even take a class or two with a coach (or just ski with my Dad as much as possible, same thing). Can't wait to rock my big fur coats, cozy knit leggings and snow boots!
