Oh my. I haven't been skiing in four years, and have *ahem* gained a few pounds over that time period. We are doing a day trip to ski tomorrow, and my pants are dangerously tight. Like, unclear how I'm going to sit in the lift tight. :-( I really, really don't want to buy new pants. The ones I have are in great condition, despite being 15 years old. And, while we'd like to figure out a way to make skiing happen regularly with the kids, we haven't been successful since we moved to the Bay area. Drat. I think I'm going to suffer through tomorrow, and if we decide to go again, will have more time to scout out a used option.
