like riding a bike
Feb. 11th, 2009 09:05 pmI didn't forget how to ski. That's good! I haven't been skiing in at least six years, I think. I think the snowboarding years (maybe 3, 4 years ago?) really messed with my confidence about getting down mountains.
Because Shanna and Andrew work at Mt. Baldy during peak season, they have lots of free passes to hand out. I got to go for free, and it only took half an hour to get there, so I went skiing and then went to the lab to do some work. Not a bad way to spend the day, I must say.
Also, it turns out that I'm in much better cardiovascular shape than I ever was when I went skiing or snowboarding before. Stuff that I recall being hard, like uphill climbs on skis, were a lot easier than I thought they'd be.
