[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 221495, member: 12198"] The cold takes some time to get used to, I spent most of life living on the "wet" coast lol so I've grown to much prefer fluffy snow to mucky yucky rain. More years ago than I'd like to admit I worked at a ski resort. I have a fantastic memory of a young family from Florida that on a whim showed up on the hill and were so excited about seeing snow for the first time. They wanted to get out in it but they were wearing Florida clothes!!! I couldn't believe my eyes! dressed in t-shirts hehehe but they so wanted to experience everything. I thought they were out of their minds! But their excitement was so incredibly infectious I raided the lost and found dressed them warmly but very mis-matched LOL and they ended up spending 3 days. They were first out on the mountain and last in at night and even taking in the nighttime toboggan and tube runs :) I'd even found some crazy carpets in lost and found and the parents had as much fun or more than their kids. When you live somewhere you sometimes forget to appreciate the magic. They made me realize how lucky I was to have such a great job and experience. Their absolute joy (and the fact that they showed up on a ski mountain in capri pants and tshirts LOL) has stuck with me and still makes me smile. [/QUOTE]
