Snow, Skiing, Pig Pillows!

[beige_alert]

I went to Lapham Peak park today to ski. I went around the big loop, 10.8 km, in about 1h45m. The snow was a bit thin but enough to ski on. Some of the hills particularly were a bit thin with lots of leaves, but the flatter sections were all good. I took some photos, which are up in my Winter 2005-2006 set along with some other wintery shots. Don’t miss the nice shot of some pig pillows. (If you don’t know about “pig pillows,” see this post and then this one from musicmutt.)

Useless knowledge: I learned recently that the German word for "oink" is "oink." I think the same is true in Spanish. It's not the kind of thing that necessarily shows up in the usual dictionaries. You either need to spend some quality time with Google or just ask a native, which is easier provided you know the kind of weird people who you can ask silly questions like that of. I do, for German, at least.

And I'm glad to know that there's someone I can ask silly questions for English terms! *ggg*

Btw, the pics are really nice, they make me jealous (want to have winter-weather, not rain here!)

I'm aryana_filker's English Language Consultant, so I ought to be able to help out the rest of the pack, too.

The snow is pretty. On the other hand, it is -15°C now at 7:00 in the morning.

That's great, thanks! :-)

Gosh, that's COLD!!! *shivers just from reading about those temperatures*
But my husband told me this evening that it's supposed to get cold here, to - about -10°C he said. *brrr*

I see I am going to have a jolly time living this one down. Pig pillows, porno puppies... I do have a thing for alliteration, don't I?

We all love the image! Plus, we all know you are a filker. Deep inside, you are thrilled to have invented this wonderful concept that has proven so popular. You're probably working on a song about it....
