Nora and I have been going skiing a lot this winter, but yesterday was the first time since way back in January that we climbed up Pyramid (click here for post). We have been skiing on the other side of the road where it is not as steep and extreme, and where it is much easier to ski right to the road. But that side has melted out so yesterday we went up Pyramid.
On the way up Nora decided that she wants to name our next dog 'Pyramid'. He would be nicknamed, 'P'Mid'. Nora wants it to be a him and a little white lab - a white version of Tank.
After a snack at the top it was time to ski down. This is Nora's favorite part. I was explaining to her that my favorite part is actually climbing up. But Nora did not agree. 'And that is why I like going to Alyeska - there is a lift', she exclaimed.
We got to the bottom of the snow and carrying the skis hiked the final slope to the car. Nora decided that rather than becoming an Olympic skier she wants to be an extreme skier and go on the 'Red Bull' circuit. Get paid to wear name brand gear. She decided that those people probably have more fun than the Olympic skiers. I also pointed out that they also get to ski out in the mountains (not just up and down on boring groomed trails), and that she could practice that type of skiing right here in her home town. So Red Bull here we come!
