Glad you came through the aneurism ordeal so well. Toni, you never meant to be inspiring or a story of hope, but you really are both. Glad you came through the aneurism ordeal so well.

We got a late start and the top snow layer got a little soft. We kicked most of the new snow off on our descent. It wasn't bad on the steeper terrain, but I could barely stay upright on the lower angle stuff due to the unpredictable edge hold. Weird how the low angle terrain was harder. @ Lou

We really have no right to complain. Every good (and not so good) day is a gift. I ski without a thyroid. I got really sick with Grave's disease when I was seventeen. Treeatment took two years with drugs and radiation. Imagine a 17-19 year old told not to do any physical activity whatsoever! Since my recovery, every day on the snow means a lot. I just pop a pill everyday and everything is alright. I am very grateful to scientists and doctors. If this happened 50 years ago, I would have died due to lack of the necessary technology.
