Beijing has a few ski resorts in the surrounding mountains, and a few weekends ago a couple of colleagues and I headed out to Nanshan for a day o' snow fun.
I've only skiied once in my life before this. That was high school when my sister Kari and friend Alison Godwin and I joined the Aletheia Youth Group on their trip to WinterPlace, West Virginia.
It was tons of fun and I fell alot. So I'm not highly qualified to rate the Nanshan resort, but i imagine that there are much better places out there. However, it WAS a perfect day to be outside, the morning after one of the 3 snow days we had this year. Not too cold, about 7 runs to play on, and a great group of friends to enjoy it with. Plus, i discovered that I love skiing. The rush, the exhilaration....perfect Saturday.
