Fair Weather SkiersPosted by dawn on Sunday, December 28, 2008 4:40pm (PST) It's true. I am a fair weather skier. As much as I admire those hard core souls who endure the harshest of elements, I am not one of them. Working at a ski resort, it can be a little embarrassing to admit that, but it's true. Not that I don't like powder, I love it. I love admiring the way it fall...
