The christmas present from my parents this year consisted of us spending christmas skiing. We stayed in a condo right on the mountain so at the end of the day we could ski right up to our back porch and climb into the hot tub (after changing into a bathing suit (after finishing skiing)).

The first day of skiing (Christmas eve) was pretty crappy - the top of the mountain had blowing snow and was basically in the clouds, so we only went up there once. Some people were stuck on that chair lift for an hour or so. It got to the point where we said if it was gonna be that way on Christmas day, we wouldn't even bother skiing. Luckily it was fantastic the next day. After opening gifts, some of us took to the slopes.

The clouds were all below us.
