I've played in the snow a little bit in Washington, Colorado, Minnesota, Massachussetts and Canada so I do know the joys of a snowy morning with a warm drink. I do not know how to ski though. You may not know this, but we have snow in Hawaii too.
But then again, I can't escape. Life sentence. I only get out for a little while for good behavior. Maybe if you behave, you can get out and get some sun down here.
