The season's first day of skiing!

Several ski resorts have opened and today was the first day of skiing for Prince Charming and myself. The first run of the first day of the season always feels a bit like Bambi on Ice. But after a few runs the skills came back and we had a very enjoyable day in the pists. I didn't go off piste at all this time since the conditions weren't very good. There was enough snow to ski comfortably in the pists but it hadn't snowed much in the past week so the off piste conditions weren't all that. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the day together, remembering how we used to ski together when we had just started dating.
The picture is of Stein Eriksen when he wins the Gold Medal in Norefjell at the Oslo Winter Olymics in 1952. Since that's where we were skiing today it was a very fitting image.
