Reading while Skiing

My two favorite things to do in the world are skiing and reading.
Books offer me an escape, I especially love fantasy books, they're the furthest from reality and makes me think about my reality. Well written books are few and far between in my favorite reading genre, but every so often one comes along and I devour it, then I recommend that book to other readers and a library.
I've been skiing since I was two, taking lessons since I was five, and skiing double blacks since ten, needless to say I'm pretty good at it. My ski town of choice is Winter Park, that's where I grew up skiing, my family had a small condo in Fraser, it's right next to WP, so we skied a lot in the winter, almost every weekend in fact. I remember complaining to my parents about not being able to sleep over on weekends, or not being able to friend's houses either. Now as I grow older, I appriciate my lessons more, and as I improve my skiing ability on my own I look back to my foundations in lessons.
