4th Day Skiing.

Skied a couple of runs at Northstar today. Weather was cold and foggy with a few snow flurries. Skiing was actually pretty good although I'm getting kind of bored by the limited terrain that is open. The bumps on the Plunge and on Grouse Alley were fun. Northstar employee orientation is tomorrow. Training for returning instructors is on Sunday the 18th and my official first day of work is on Monday the 19th. My upper lip is still pretty swollen and sore. I see the plastics guy (Dr Jellinek) tomorrow at 5:30 after the Northstar orientation meeting.

First day on the ski slopes.

Went skiing at Northstar today. Managed to keep my face out of the snow but I still noticed that my upper lip was unusually sensitive to the cold. Overall though it felt good to be skiing. Wallace and I plan to go out again in the morning for a couple of hours.

Photo taken today of Ken Bruielly and myself in front of Big Springs Lodge. You can see my new chipped eye tooth in the picture.

Faceplant plus 18 days.

Today's self portrait. Looks like I may not require a face transplant after all. (Face Transplant). You possible doners can now relax. Every day I get better looking as more scabs are fall off revealing areas of pink new skin. My dentist recommends that my 4 front teeth be capped probably sometime in early January after my lip has healed.
