The weather outside has been a bit frightful so far this season but I, for one, am very grateful for it. Bad weather means fresh snow in the mountains for me to enjoy! I love the snow and I love the feeling of floating through the freshly fallen powder. We have been trying to save money by not going to the resorts and instead we "skin" up to the slopes and then after hours of leg tiring hiking we get to ski the most amazing untouched powder on the most varied terrain I have ever seen! It sure took me a long time to be okay with the hiking part but now I really am starting to love it all. 
Another amazing bonus is that I'm actually doing a good deal of exercise and getting stronger and healthier without really noticing it. I feel so good and I'm always ridiculously sore afterward (like today) but I am slowly getting stronger and each time I go gets that much easier.
