I still have those skis and boots

Pulled them out of my MIL's garden shed this past Fall for the first time in 31 years. Still in the same bag with poles and clipped lift tickets and such. All from the last time I skied before my mission. I zipped it all back up and tossed it back into the shed. It is fun to look back every once in a while. Glad my wife and I shared many of those memories together

Son of the family took it over and got it to its 50th. It had a few glorious years at the end. Really innovative sauces

I wouldn't even put it in the good category.
