I finally skied!
Austin came with me to Mount Hood, but when we got there he was overwhelmed by the crowds and feeling a bit icky so he sat and read while I plied the slopes. Then he saved the day, for the first time, by feeding me a fluffernutter sandwich when my blood sugar plummeted and the cafeteria was all out of carbohydrate-containing vegetarian fare. He saved the say for the second time as we drove the long, slick, winding path from Timberline to the main drag back to Portland, and my aggressive driver tendencies started to flare. "Straighten the wheel! Slow down!" So I did, I came out of the skid, and I heeded Austin's advice the rest of the way down the mountain.

Did I mention that when I had the accident I was descending from 5000ish ft. to the valley? A similar drive to coming down Mt. Hood. I'm glad Austin was able to calm you.

No, you didn't mention that. I did have a pretty strong feeling that I would not be wise to make the drive alone.
