Ski Trip to Jindushan!

It's been more than ten years since the last time I went skiing, but on Saturday evening, Muir's co-worker invited us to Jindushan ski resort slightly north of Beijing to go skiing with him, his wife, and young son.  Evening ski tickets were 100 RMB per person (about $17 US per person) which included five hours of skiing time, ski rentals, and one meal.  What a great deal!  Anyway, we had a blast and no one broke any bones. :)  Muir and I stuck to the first two slope levels and had fun practicing turning, slowing, and stopping.  After the sun set, things really got cold and we only skiied an additional half hour after dinner.  Here are a few pictures of us at the resort.

  2. 'Fraid not. I usually nag him enough to shave the beard regularly, but you know, sometimes no amount of nagging is enough. :P
