I went skiing last night, first time in about 5 years and the first time ever kilted.

The skiing went great, no problems at all. I never got cold, there was very little breeze under the kilt, though my fiancee would be upset had I tried it regimental. (I might have froze some of her favorite parts!)

I started off the evening snowboarding though, and that is a definate no-no. I had snowboarded before, but only twice, and at my best was just good enough not too fall (too much). Well, after five years off, I was no where near my best.
Falling on my back wasnt much of a problem, but it was the time when I fell forward that hurt. My knees took the brunt of the impact, and Southern California snow is mostly artificial, which means little frozen ice crystals. It's like sliding on cold sand paper.
After one run and two bloody knees I swapped the board for some ski's, and went on well from there.

I got lots of comments as you might expect, the main one being "aren't you cold?" to which I gave Ron's reply ("Heat rises"). I got lots of nice looks, high fives, and appreciative comments from the snow bunnies as well. One even tried to look up my kilt when I was on the chair lift!
