squawing with the big kids

for the last few months, everytime we go to squaw, i have been getting dropped off at the base of the mounatin promptly at 10am to be babysat by ski school instructors.  meanwhile, everyone else i know 'shreds the gnar' and acts extreme. 

something big happened the last time we went skiing.  remember that time when i accidentally started crying on the mountain?  6 lessons and approximately 1 million ski school line skips later, i finally conquered what was once my biggest fear - siberia.

now, i might be finally ready to do something with 'gnar'* with the big kids. 

and you, mac.  we will still shred gold coast together.

    Definition of GNAR: acronym for Gaffney's Numerical Assessment of Radness, used when skiing
    terrain is very gnarly if it has a high gnar quotient. http://unofficialnetworks.com/gnar/

    For a second, maybe a minute, I thought that the little person in the picture was Christina and the big person was Elliot. oops.
