day 15. skiing. sunday river. 12/24.

christmas eve. an incrediby mild and beautiful day. the snow was just about perfect. they told me i was tsbr right off the bat today. pretty much the same route today except i took south ridge to get to barker and headed straight to white cap after barker because i could take one less lift ride that way. i was done at noon. it was almost a little frustrating because the skiing was so good and i have to stop after taking one run every time. i'm sure as the season wears on i'll feel more comfortable sneaking in a few fun runs. anyway, i called kasmira and told her to jump on the explorer and come down. she did and we had a wonderful but brief time skiing in the soft snow and the sun. she is simply such an incredible skier. her form is so perfect. we were taking the chondola first but then we switched to just riding south ridge because she was trying the rails in whoville. its obvious the mountain is covered with kids from her school who are just always there. i think she might have better luck learning to do tricks on her snowboard than on her skis. anyway, we had a long drive to the butler christmas eve party so we headed out around two. it was a great day and obviously a clear indicator of what a great season it is going to be.
