Happy New Year!

I went skiing with my family, yesterday, at Afton Alps. We had a great time and skied for about 6 hours. So much happened while skiing, so it may take a couple of days to post it all!

When we arrived at Afton Alps, we bought four tickets, each costing $37.00. Fortunately I own a pair of skis, so I did not have to pay for rentals. We located a chalet to put on our equipment at and I then realized that I had left my helmet at home. After we got our gear on, we hit the slopes. Afton has 18 lifts, so our goal was to use all of them. We skied for an hour, then met back at the chalet to eat lunch. Being a thrifty family, we packed our own lunches rather than buying over-priced cheap-quality chalet food.

This is a bit off topic, but I have recently started a pop-can top collection. I collect colored pop-can tops commonly found on energy drink cans. Anyway, while we were eating at the chalet, I saw a group of teenagers drinking energy drinks, which has colored pop-can tops. After they finished their drinks I went over to them and asked if I could have the pop-can tops. They thought it was an interesting request, but graciously gave me the pop-can tops. I think that is enough for today. I will be sure to write more in a couple of days.
