10 Things I've Learned from My Vermont Ski Trip
1. Surprisingly, snowshoeing is a superior abs workout to snowboarding.
2. Mini-vans have poor acoustics.
3. Where there's snow, there's lots of white people, sprinkled with some dark-haired orientals.
4. A leveret is a small rabbit.
5. Norman Rockwell was born in 1894. He tried to join the Navy, but was turned down due to his low weight - even a diet of bananas, donuts and water couldn't help. While he was famous for his Saturday Evening Post covers, he made most of his money drawing advertisements and book illustrations. He had an abode in New Rochelle, but eventually moved with his 2nd wife to Vermont. He died in 1978 at the age of 84.
6. You can't be scared of the mountain. You have to make the mountain scared of you.
7. Pull-out couches are not very comfortable. But neither is getting beat up in your sleep.
8. Doral is not a type of shark fin. (But it should be.)
9. You should never put hand warmers in your ski boots because you will never get them out.
10. Cool people in Killington go to the Pickle Barrel Nightclub. Cooler people stay inside to play board games and knit.

The snowshoes, just moments before their fall from grace!
You are so wise, perhaps I cannot aspire to your brilliance because you are a dark-haired oriental and I am a mere "american" according to some

You got beat up in your sleep? You must've been dreaming.
Didn't you also learn that Sequence and Balderdash are great games, despite your lack of respect for them beforehand?
Great snowshoe photo. Are you going to mail a copy to the rental guy?

A very important lesson not mentioned:
All knit instructors do not teach the same methods... and when learning to knit, you will always stick to the way you learned first... unless the second way is better of course.
