Luckily, I recovered just in time....
My cold subsided just in time for me to enjoy two full days of skiing with everyone else. The skiing was fabulous, we even got to enjoy 5 inches of fresh-fallen snow on Saturday. And, much to our relief, Nicole's on-again off-agin boyfriend wasn't as annoying to have around as we had feared.... although, I'm surprised my sister managed to find someone that actually takes longer to get ready than she does!!! very annoying.....
