In the first week of march me and my Dutch ski buddy Peter guided a ski safari in France for a sports tour operator. From our base in Lanslevillard we headed out by helicopter with a small Dutch group of experienced skiers to be dropped off in the middle of the Vanoise nature reserve. The trek will takes us through virginal valleys, narrow couloirs, over bre...
After my experience with the officer came to an end I felt an incredible sense of awakening and liberation that I never imagined myself capable of feeling. Especially being a married woman. Everything felt so right with the world. My senses were more alive and I felt completely empowered. I think it rubbed off on my husband too for he seemed more alive as we...
These are some memories of mine, as accurate as I can remember... So, it's such a beautiful winter, and I'm lucky enough to manage to leave at the mountains for one week, exactly when I hear that the snow is just perfect! I'm happy, full of enthusiasm, especially since the place won't be so crowded with students and kids - great! I'm preparing my equipmen...
I haven't been everywhere in the world but I've been to enough ski resorts to believe that Mammoth Mountain, in California, is about as good a place to ski as any. A lot of money has been invested over the years so there are literally hundreds of possible runs, something around thirty different lifts (many of them high speed multi-person), all with some of t...
We made it to the slopes just before noon. Mixing with the crowds near the lodge, I felt like the proverbial kid in the candy store. My years of flirting and teasing other men had suddenly been given license. I could take an encounter with any strange man as far as I wanted without losing the safe haven of my marriage. I still had some doubts in the back of...
"I want all the details. Tell me everything!" Kelly demanded of me. The vice like grip she had on my unit through my ski pants was incentive enough but I knew she would get off on hearing all the dirty details. It was a long lift to the top of the mountain so I figured I might as well tell her everything. Before I get into the meat of those details, let me...
MICHELLE LEARNS TO SKI It was four weeks since the project started at the client location in Franche Comte and things were going well. I had arranged lodging with a hotel on a month to month basis for myself and the project team. I also rented a car on a monthly basis but left it at the hotel when I returned to Paris each weekend. I would give my status rep...
They decided to head to the Mall, mostly because both of them were in serious need of the basics. Walt knew he could have found some sort of creative wish to handle that problem, but that just wasn't his style. Walt worked for what he got, always had and always will. So they were on their way to do some shopping and get a bite to eat. Walt, not a fan of sho...

Laura stood by the dormer window of their room in the ski lodge and watched as the group of cross-country skiers got themselves sorted out into some semblance of a straight line and headed off toward the horizon, where the sun was just making an appearance. There were about a dozen skiers, and the only way she could tell which one was her husband was by the...
