Phil Primmer is with Thomas Hough and 2 others at Craigleith Ski Club.
Yesterday at 9:22pm · The Blue Mountains ·
What a perfect 70th day on the slopes for me this year! Patrolling at Craigleith while their Patrollers did their Basic Life Saving recertification. I got to ski with so many sailors from Osler, Beaver, Craigleith and the Peaks! Late April skiing is such a TREAT!
Update
May 5, 2018 - "My Saturday ski alarm just went off at 6:30am. like it has, since the 2nd week of December. Every Saturday and Sunday, there have been ski boots on my feet for 8 hours each day, until today. Almost 5 long months. I think I may wear them gardening today."
