Sparks a Fire

So i woke up at 6 am this morning, packed and my dad dad drove me to Hong Chong's house (dad's collegue) then they drove up to mnt. Lemmon for the ski trip. It wasnt a long drive, but when we got there at 9:30 am, there was no parking space and we had to park on the main road. The rentals for the skis was so long, we stood in line for 3 hours. It wasnt long until it was our turn to rent, and by the time we did, our intentions for a full day skii turned out to be a half day from 12:30 to 4. But it wasnt so bad after all. The runs were ok, but there were better ones in the white mountains up in Show Low. The intermediate course up there was reasonable, but the one on mnt lemmon, was just near impossible. I went down once with out a wipe out, but the second time..when the shadows crept... i biffed it twice. And twice this lady had to help me get my skis on my boots again. Just stadning vertical on the slope wasnt enought to keep me from slidding down the mountain. It wasnt long until i was very tired, ate dinner and came home.
