Thanks for the vote of confidence!!! Sounds like you had a blast at Apple Mountain. I haven't skiied in 11 years---since I got pregnant with oldest DD. If we are able to go on our annual trip to the UP next month I probably will not get a chance to ski------my hubby and 2 oldest ski, but littlest DD hasn't wanted to try it yet. Hopefully, there is always next year. I do miss it. Skiing to so much fun, and its hard to sit in the ski chalet with Shannon and watch everyone else having a blast. It's nice to see another thumb person on here. Looking forward to getting to know you.
