10-12 Year Old Boy #1: "Aiden threw up yesterday!"
10-12 Year Old Boy #2: "Awsome!!"
Pretty Woman 30-ish on skis, pointing to our tiny glade: "Have you been through the trees? It's really easy today in the soft snow."
Me, pointing to the slope: "I can only make those arc-shaped carves. I think I would smack into a tree if I tried to go through there."
Pretty Woman, dead serious: Oh, that's OK. You'll improve!"
Pretty Woman was at least 20 ears younger than me, so I was hoping she would give me a hug and kiss for encouragement before sending me off down the hill, but no such luck.
