Hot pursuit

Wednesday was the best day of an otherwise dismal ski season, so far in Park City. Snow was soft and skiing was the best yet.

I was skiing at Park City and was intent on passing what appeared to be, by the color of their outfits and body sizes, two young ladies going down ahead of me on a bumpy, whipper-covered section, right under the 9990 chair.

I passed one of them without much trouble and couldn't pass the other one that was skiing incredibly fast and well. Finally, as I was about to pass her, she stopped to wait for her mate and as turned my head, I saw that “girl” had a full beard and was in his 30 to 40 years of age!

I suddenly felt re-assured!
