cheyenne1212: good points. if there is an emergency then I could see it being a problem... but most places have land lines... and policies/procedures in place to locate people in case of emergency.

I'm going sking next weekend in wisconsin. Where did you go skiing at?
We went to a small mountain up in PA. Its called Blue Mountain... awesome place. Its pretty small compared to places around it... but good for us, because our GFs are still beginners. They have some more advanced slopes... I went for the first time on the double black diamonds... whoa! That was fun, but scary at first. Very very icy... lol But... I'm still alive with all bones intact.... I do the snow blades though, not skiis or snowboards. Its all legs... as where with skiis... its more 2/3rds legs, 1/3 upper body. Tires you out pretty quickly...
