I can do this. I CAN do this. I can DO this!

Within weeks, the Obsessive Skier will move from Boulder County, Colorado to Chicagoland (Evanston, Illinois to be precise). Sigh.

Yes, I've already scheduled my first trip back to Colorado for some real skiing. But December is a long way away. And so, planning for an emergency Chicagoland ski escape has begun. Truly, there are emotional, meteorological, and geographical disappointments to be faced, but the Obsessive Skier will not be dismayed. In fact, there are a number of places near Chicago that provide lift-service to devoted skiers. I can do this. I CAN do this. I can DO this!
