So, they need to build a ski area with no lift lines and great snow right outside Phoenix, so I can work out. How about one of those little, no BIG, fake ski hills inside a big building, like in Dubai? http://www.destination360.com/middle-east/united-arab-emirates/dubai-ski And they've apparently got one in Leeds, England as well. How cool (pun intended)would it be to build an indoor ski area in Phoenix? How sweet would that be when it's 115 in August? Well it would be SWEEE-EEET.
But since that isn't likely to happen (unless I can get a bunch of crazy investors -- Rich Skiers from Phoenix Unite!), I'll just have to continue going skiing a few times a year for as long as my knees last. And they are sore. I'm popping Aleve round the clock. But I've burned a ton of calories -- I ski about 4-5 hours a day and should burn 1789 in 4 hours. And I managed to have only ONE dinner last night, so that's excellent. Gonna be hard to go home and burn that many calories doing anything else. Doesn't help that I don't have 4 hours a day to work out. Have tried roller blading, but I kind of suck at it and I look ridiculous even before I plunge to the concrete waving my arms wildly. Am considering looking for a roller rink -- I'd join a ladies Roller Ball pack, but I think I'm more of an "Okay, it's time to skate backwards" kind of skater. [Internet search break.] Well, I just looked it up, and, of course, there is no rink in Phoenix -- only in the burbs, and I'm not likely to go to Chandler or Mesa to skate. Possibly Glendale. But not more than once every few months. Or years. Maybe for my next birthday, I'll make everyone go to a roller rink. That could be fun. Meanwhile, I'll have to look into developing a roller rink to go with my new ski hill -- maybe a companion development. And if that works out, I'll develop the whole thing into an enormous, healthy amusement park -- Disney in the Desert. Start thinking of what my mascot could be -- the mouse is taken.
