Big Deal Tomorrow

[MaineJackie 3]

Tomorrow I am going skiing for the first time in 2 years! I am a die hard skiier but stopped skiing 2 years ago due to my size.

I had to get a new ski jacket (an XL for a change!) and the ski pants I used to wear are too big (but will have to do this year!!)

I am so excited. I am only going to get a half day lift ticket so I don't over do it on my first venture back on the mountain.....but I am so so so happy.

Jackie, that's great news. Congratulations! Living where you do and being a skier, it'd be difficult to not feel comfortable on the slopes because of your weight. I hope you have a great time, and next trip you'll get a full day lift ticket instead. Have a blast!

That's awesome. I can't wait to get back to skiing too! I've gone up to the mountains with my family for the past 5 years, but I always hung out on the side - too embarrassed to ski at this size. Maybe next year.....

Skiing was amazing! I took it slow.....stuck to my half day plan........and thoroughly enjoyed myself! It was perfect weather---bright sun, no wind and about 20 degrees.

I packed food.....didn't have any snack shack food. (Greek yogurt, Kashi bar, cheese stick......)

Now I am home, showered, resting......and yes, my legs are sore but it feels so good.

Next year? I will be skinny enough to get new ski gear..........

I'm glad you had a good time. I had plans to go skiing next month, I haunt skiied in like 15 years, but another opportunity came up to go to the Bahamas so I chose that instead. I vow to go skiing next year though
