Skiing late in the afternoon, Mary's legs were getting TIRED as they took off to ski
to a place called "Hole in the Wall"
Michael took the following photos of Mary with his cell phone as they skied

The snow was deep and Michael was kind not to document my many falls!
|
|
The Hole in the wall is a narrow opening through a cliff, and this steep chute is caused by erosion and the gravitational pull on the eroded material, with ice in the lower portion...Bouncing off rocky cliffs will put an immediate end to our day, so it was at this point Michael gave me his helmet, then he kept placing my ski deep in the snow in front of my legs to keep me from slipping all the way down the chute. |

Michael and I were both very tired and very, very lucky!!! |
