Skiing and Days Off

Day 2 of possibly 4 off from work. I find myself with an urge to go skiing somewhere. It may just be doing research on skiing around Christchurch and my approaching deployment down to McMurdo that's got me excited for some skiing and skinning. I picked up my skis from the ski shop where I had my bindings installed. As cold as its been here in Cedar City, one can only think that there's snow somewhere around Utah at 10, 11, and 12,0000 ft elevation. I haven't been able to do as much as I wanted to this "weekend" on account of my finger. I can't climb nor play my guitar (big bummer). I can, however, hike, read, and surf the internet so the day(s) haven't been wasted too much. Oh well. 13 days left in Utah, 32 till I'm back in McMurdo
