Last night I decided to spy on kid one’s first school ski trip of the year at Afton Alps. The weather has finally been decent and I was really glad to be out again doing something during the winter blahs.
The kid wasn’t too excited to see me, so I mainly skied by myself. Her school was based mainly in the Meadows area, so I hit the Highlands (Sally’s Valley and Heather’s Highlands) and the Alps (Barbi’s Challenge and Trudy’s Schuss). Those runs are all nice, but oh so short. I counted turns on one run and struggled to get in 15 before reaching the bottom.
Stopped in at all three chalets: looked for the kid in the Meadows chalet, ate a typical ski area dinner in the Alps chalet and sat by the fire with some hot chocolate in the Highlands chalet. Also got to watch part of the crappy Wild game before heading home around 9:15.
Night skiing starts at 4:30 and costs $27 for adults. Lifts close at 9:30 (Sunday-Thursday), but some of them shut down before that, so make sure you get where you need to be to avoid lots of skating.
The iPod in the MINI was helping with ski trip flashbacks – Erotic City, Mony Mony and We Will Rock You
Fun night skiing solo at Afton Alps. Forgot how much better winter is when you ski – too bad you only get about 15 turns per run in MN
Watching the Wild-Blues game is more enjoyable when sitting next to the fire and sipping hot chocolate in the Highlands chalet
Still one of my favorite things about skiing http://twitpic.com/y4h1o
Might be the same food in the Alps chalet cafeteria
Back in my day, you skiied *around* bamboo gates, not through plastic ones. And snowboards didn’t exist. Same old slow chairlifts, though
“Dad? What are you *doing* here?!?” I love surprises…
Credit union, drop off kid two for photo shoot in Minneapolis, then spy on kid one during ski trip to Afton Alps

Wasted way too much time on this Twitter Tools update issue – maybe it’s just the Twitter API acting flaky again. Try again later, I guess
Crap, the new Twitter Tools plugin seems to have stop pulling tweets. That plugin is sort of hard to troubleshoot, too
Finished updates to http://bradjamesgolf.com/ – last chance to attend one of his camps before he leaves for down under
Cord on front window blinds finally broke after hanging on by a tread for months. Time for a new house, I guess

Allina Medical Clinic Eagan check-in, doctor visit, prescription faxed to Target pharmacy and back home in like 45 minutes. Bravo!
I’d just like to restate, I think the new Hockey Unplugged policy the Wild started isn’t fan friendly. Who can spend all day there? not kids
