First annual spiney / ADR ski reunion!

[letteski]

Now that I have recovered from our ADR ski trip and made it though a very busy week, I have time to share a few stories with all of you from the trip. We dropped out a side door of the Resort and skied our first run in the trees to the chair lift. After surviving their fist 5 turns, Mark and Doreen were ready for anything. The first lesson was how to put the lift ticket on, technology has changed but Mark friend, Clark, would not have anything to do with that as he clicked into his 1980 straight skis (I wanted to hide). I realized right away that Mark was a true adrenaline junky as he shot by me going mock speed sleight dead ahead. Doreen on the other hand is a beautiful skier with great form and grace. I wanted to give back to Mark for all his support by sharing a few ski tips but he would have nothing to do with that so I gave up on him because his full body rotation did cause the skis to make some turns. We caught the last chair ride up at 4:00, yes this was Mark’s great idea and I should have called it, but instead Doreen sacrificed her face for the group. Good thing she was OK. All and all the weekend was a blast and I want to thank Mark, Doreen and Clark for coming to visit and making my dream come true. The months before my surgery I dreamed of skiing again and sharing my dream with others that have suffered the same situation. I though my life was over during those dark days of pain. So for those of you on the other side, I would say dream your dreams and have faith that you will be able to join us next year for our 2nd annual ADR ski trip.

While I don't ski, have never done so, and not even ever wanted to do so, the posts on this trip sound/look like such a blast I'd just like to be a resort bunny next time 'round~ perhaps maybe next year I'll be able to handle my booze 1/5th as well as biggest lightweight!!!

thanks for sharing the fun~ I keep telling some of my very skeptical friends that ADR can render positive results (not saying it will tho it can and has) that allows people to return to incredible activities~ *fun-ctionality*

Well! I have sped red the thred!! What fun. Now if you ever plan such fun again, can I come? I have never skied, and for me right now it would not be a good idea, but I'm not against learning on the baby slopes. For me that would be a challenge. I really need some excitement in my life, and the idea of turning around the spinal condition, into a good reason for being alive is verfy appealing. I'm up for a challenge as well. Anyway I would be very good at making coffee for the skiers when they got back from a hard day on the slopes. You are all so very optimistic, its contagious. I wish I wasnt geographically so far away from all of you.

If that doesn't boost up the stock in companies manufacturing artificial disc implants I don't know what will!!!!
