Blue Mountain. It’s sounds like a summit in Lord of the Rings.

Ah boll*x turns out I can't copy the pics from facebook......
Didn't have the where-with-all to get my own photographic device so I guess I'll have to off-road her.
Have to make do with my wild imagination and google images.
So just believe me...the photos are good and so was the trip.
If I had to commit to a visual representation of the group as a whole....
Learning to Ski!
To begin it was a rough ole start to the day. A horrifically early 7.15am meeting time.
And I have nothing more to say about that experience other than...no!
I was too tired to observe life as it unfolded but I believe we all met, and went to the car rental place and apparently rented cars, and apparently drove the 2 hours to Blue mountain and apparently we were there.
Bit like this fella...
Baby slopes-R-us, we were all a relatively rookie crew when it came to carving up the slopes. So we took it handy and tried out the beginner ones. Now I know children have gravity and fearlessness and stupidity on their side but still it's embarrassing when they go flying by you, but that's a dangerous impulse to give in to. Don't think just because they can do it you can too. You will be injured!
At ease with our adult inability we toiled up and down the 11 degree angled slope until ready to move on.
But we improved and had a total blast of the highest order! The rain stopped and was coming down in lovely flurries of thick snow flakes. The main prob I had was my rented ski jacket had soaked through and I was frozen so had to pack it in earlier than desired due to fear of frostbite!
I apologise in advance for this plainly disgusting image......but i couldn't resist.
I recommend (if you have a sick sense of humour) image googling 'frostbite', you will return your dinner within seconds. Yuck!!!
A hearty day's skiing done, we got busy with the other important part of the trip. Apres-Ski!!!!
The restuarant led to the pub which led to the club which led back to the apartments which, would you believe, led to a few calls from security!...
Feeling bit lazy to be honest, I'm feeling pleasantly fuzzy from 2 glasses of wine and no dinner so the fight just isnt in me. When I get my hands on some photos from the trip, I'll try and revisit. :)
