The little angel seems to have caught the bug that half the country has - started vomiting on us last night at 6 and has been vacillating between a fever of 103 and lethargic and darting around the house demanding I stop working and play with her.  Welcome back!  Yeehaw!

That said, here are a few of the sparse observations I recorded when I could stop drinking for two minutes and borrow a pen and cocktail napkin.

1. Ski clothing is the great equalizer and the fashion opposite of army boots.  Just as nobody looks good in army boots, nobody looks bad in ski clothing (provided it's updated).  Slap some North Face on the most out-of-shape, middle-aged paper manager in the world, and he looks remotely cool. 
2. It is far better to see people in casts and crutches AFTER you've finished skiing for the day than before.
3. Never drink at lunch, especially not if you're eating on the mountain.
4. You'd be surprised how many people try to drive their normal, small-wheeled strollers on thick snow. 
5. Don't race when you've never skied in thick powder before.
6. Don't laugh at your husband when he gives himself a black eye unless you want no sympathy when your bruised shins give out on the last day.
7. Nine degrees is cold no matter how many heaters they have outside.
8. Locals in ski towns will never tell you where the good party is.
9. Ski bums over the age of 30 are kind of sad.
10. Drinking at high altitudes is not a problem is you've spent the last several months building up an immunity to iocane powder.

More when I get the photos back.  I have to go take the little angel's temperature again.
