Black diamond boy

Miles is not content skiing anymore unless he can go down at least some black diamond runs. Last Friday he took me down 'Wintergreen' at Brighton. Wintergreen sounds like a nice easy run but it is not; it is a steep, narrow, bumpy, ski run of terror! He easily goes around the steep moguls with his short skis, while I try to go down without breaking my neck.

So this week I let him take Melinda skiing instead of me. He, he he! They went with Kevin, and it sounds like they had a good time. I started to get worried last week because Miles told me he was getting 'bored' of the same runs. So he took Melinda on 'Wintergreen', 'My o My' and 'Wren Hollow'. It sounds like she did pretty well on those black runs. When did everyone get better than me?

My little ski buddy is going to be way too advanced for me in a few years. I can see him now; weaving in and out of the trees and going down steep chutes with powder blowing all around him while his old man putters down the bunny hill.
