Congratulations, us crossdressing gals made it to 2008! Are you feeling a bit hung over today? Maybe a bit of a headache? It will past, after a day or two! Your Betty just stayed home with the girls after going out to eat. I was hoping the girls would get drunk enough to start playing around in the living room, but no such luck.

If you live in the winter belt right now is prime ski season. Despite hating the cold I actually did take up skiing when I lived in Vermont. I got quite good at it in fact. Vermont has some very nice ski trails, both cross country and downhill. I did not care for cross country, that was too much like hiking. I did the downhill skiing at Stowe, a very well known ski resort.

I have to say my most embarrassing moment occurred when I was just learning how to ski. Now what I am about to tell you is 100% true, even if it does sound like a classic joke. I was self taught, I just used a tow rope to go up a few times, then skied, or I should say fell, all the way down the mountain. After a few times I was able to stay upright half the time, so I figured it was time to take the chair lift up!

So I got in line for the lift. How you got on this particular lift was you just skied in a line, and when your turn came you skied out in front of the chair that was coming up behind you. As it came up from behind you sat down as it lifted you up and away, simple!! Oh, the chair carried two at a time, side by side. Ok, so I was in line, with two young and hot looking chicks in front of me.

Their turn came, so they skied out in front of the chair. At the same time I skied up to where your suppose to stop to wait your turn. All the traffic had made the snow turn to ice right there, and there was a slight downhill pitch. Soooo, as I hit that ice I lost all my balance, and I slid right in behind the two girls! The chair was coming, and I could not get out of the way in time.

So, the chair hit me from behind, causing me to fall into it sitting. Then it came to the girls standing side by side. I was on the right, and the poor girl flew over my knees right into my lap! The other girl also got into the chair. It started to go up, so I grabbed my arms around the girl in my lap so she would not fall. All this happened in like 5 seconds.

By that time the ride operator saw what happened and shut the lift off. We ended up about 8 feet or so high. The girls jumped down, giggling. The ride operator came over to see if we were ok, then gave me that WTF!!! look! I was like “uh, sorry, my first time trying the lift, ya know”. So he told me to just stay in the chair while he started it back up.

Of course this happened in front of the whole line of people, and the ski lodge. They started laughing and all that. Your poor Bilinda was sooooo mortified! I felt my face turn beet red and just kept thinking “come on come on, get this thing going and get me outta here! After about 2 years it finally started up, and when I got to the top I made a nice face plant getting off.

I made sure not to get back on the lift the rest of the day. So see, your not the only one to have done some dumb things while young. Anyway I became quite good at it, and never screwed up on a lift again! If you have never tried skiing I highly recommend you do. It is lots of fun, at least on a warm day. Yes it does take some practice, but so does riding a bike. However it can be quite pricey, if you rent your equipment, then your lift ticket and all, it can cost well over $100.00 for a day.

One of these days I’ll try it again, If I can ever get myself to go up north in the winter again. It is great exercise, just watch the trees and other people. Oh, and if you go to Stowe and get on a chair lift, watch out for the ice!
