Aside from that, I'm game for a floating weekly girls' night. May take me a few times to get my ski legs back. I'm a (low?) intermediate though... maybe a 5-6 on the (very arbitrary) 1-10. Hope I wouldn't hold anyone back.

I fixed the ducking for you!

As for the floating girls night,............
I wish I could join you but Michigan is a bit far away.
Now.............I would still love it if you and mr severine were to make a day trip to Stowe while I'm there skiing with the Divas..........any chance of that?
There will me other mr Diva's, and a few Bears, if he's worried about the estrogen level.

Stowe's a bit far for day trips... that would be an overnighter. I think it was 5 hrs to get there pre-kids (which means about 6.5-7 hrs with kids). The biggest concern I would have is if the terrain would be something I could ski at that time. I know Brian went to one of those clinics at Stowe when I was preggers with our daughter and he said that I probably would have had difficulties with the terrain that was open. But it was also a later opening that year so maybe this year will be different.

Remind me - when is it you Divas be at Stowe?

(And thanks for fixing my duck!)

I posted the link for thread on SkiDiva with the Meeting of us.
There was marginal snow last year and yet they had decent conditions for all levels of skiing. I'm sure you'd find some awesome turns.
SNWL, Lola, and Nannymin will be there on Friday (attending ESA) but not Monday.
QQ, SkiDiva, Lil, and a few others will be there on Monday following ESA.
This may be the only weekend I hit the East coast, as I have made plans to go to Abasin with my husband (his sister lives in Golden CO)

If we don't meet up this year then maybe another time! I'll look forward to it!

Um, thanks! That avatar pic was from the trip where one of the MRG ski instructors started shouting out tips to me during somebody else's private lesson. It was also my first experience with ungroomed snow. I can't wait to go back!

I most likely cannot make it this year. I don't think Brian has any time off to spare this year. If for some reason you're back on this coast in 2008 though, let me know! Brian gets an extra week off next year so we'll be doing well for skiing time!
