Went skiing at Hunter Mountain with K, 
aleffert, and Nikki. It was the first time I'd been skiing in like 15 or 20 years or so. I know that I went pretty often with my family when I was a kid, both to hills in Wisconsin and out in Montana where my parents are from.
Anyway I had a great time. The first few runs were a bit shaky, but by the end of the day I remembered what to do with my legs and really got some solid exercise out of it. My favorite course was a blue-square-difficulty one that was very meandering, meaning that it wasn't terribly steep, and had an excellent ski-time-to-chairlift-time ratio. The weather was very warm (low 50s Fahrenheit) which was good for general outdoor comfort, but slightly bad for snow conditions. Some courses had big mud patches.
