Best memories
Well, the thread speaks for itself, talk about your best memories.
Unsurprisingly, my best memories are mostly of skiing. One day last year comes to mind where I completely pushed my limits, spent the majority of the day really, REALLY scared, but in the end accomplished so many of my goals for the season that it was truly one of the best days i've ever had. Another one was actually yesterday, skiing. The skiing itself wasn't too amazing, what really made the day amazing was just how much fun I had with my friends. The sky was a clear blue, not a cloud in the sky, and all of us were insanely stoked because a side of the mountain that had been closed fro avalanche danger had been opened up for the first time in years. It was incredible, we screwed around, made fools of ourselves, and had such a good time just making the most of the day. At one point we started sing-a-longs on the chairlifts. The first was a rousing rendition of Renegade by Styx (we're all obsessed with that song because it's the perfect ski song), which got cheers and appluase from the people below us and the chairs behind and in front of us, and praise from the liftees when we got to the top. The next chair ride was Tiny Dancer. We actually got four other chairs (at least) singing along with us. The whole atmosphere that day was amazing, really nice warm day, and everyone on the mountain was in a great mood. I could go on and on about good skiing memories, but i'm curious to hear all of your best times. so post away.

You're really crazy about skiing. I've never even seen snow and you make me really want to go snow skiing. i water ski alot though. anyways my best memories are mostly from this year... funny stuff with freinds. But I vividly remember the time my Okinawan neighbor was swimming in her fountain with her dog ( I just wrote an English paper on this) there was also the memory of when in 1st grade my teacher handed out the class a mini dry erase board and told us to write our age and hold it up. Most people were siz but I was one of the few who wrote a 7! makes me tear up how long ago that was.
