Snowmobiling

Yep. Being pregnant, you'd wonder why I came to this skiing/snowboarding heaven. For sure, Dav is snowboarding to his heart's content and loving it. When I was in the gondola, looking at the nice smooth slopes that were totally not crowded, I wished I could get a few runs in too.

But I went snowmobiling instead! I had no idea what to expect, and am more of the quiet sports type (sailing, hiking, bicycling) (that is, when I rarely actually do sports), so I thought I'd not enjoy the obnoxious motor sound. Indeed, the noise was obnoxious, and I felt bad for all the animals we must have disturbed. Plus the gas stank.

However, I have to say it was a fantastic experience. We drove out into the country, and went on some beautiful trails. There were 6 total in our group. However, me and Scoble's wife Maryam drove much slower than the others, and we were left behind. So for the most part, I had no one in front of me, and I could pretend I was alone. Don't worry, we had a great guide who would wait for us at every turn, and even served us all hot chocolate mid-trip.

Most memorable? Since I'm pregnant AND I've been drinking a lot because of the altitude, I had to pee...in the middle of the snowy mountain. I had so many layers to peel off, and then my poor bare butt in the cold...I sure won't forget that!
