Out of Control in the Mountains of Colorado
Just over a week ago, I left snowy Michigan for the even more snowy Colorado mountains. After investing in the warmest hat and gloves I could find (made of some new thermal technology that reflects your body heat back to you) and borrowing a pair of ski goggles, I signed up for my first ski lesson.
