Cool! I've been skiing exactly one time. After spending 3 hours making best friends with the ground, I decided once was enough.

I had a followup appointment for my ear surgery this week, and my ENT's office is a five minute walk from an REI (Pearl District in Portland). I was about 45 minutes early, so I walked to the store. Was able to pick up a small container to carry my otovent (I almost lost it on the plane when it fell out of my pocket last time I flew, so I'm taking no chances and clipping it to my belt this time). Was also able to pick up a clothes line (lightweight with clips), and something else I needed for the trip.
I bought my son a couple pairs of pants on clearance during their Memorial Day sale online-- lightweight and quick-dry, both of which will be important on this trip (five weeks, one carry-on bag each). I burned up my 20% coupon (they let me use it twice, but not three times), so found the same pants on sale somewhere else for about the same price in the end. I also bought a Horny Toad skirt from them that I love, and I don't do skirts. Can good some good deals, but a lot of stuff is expensive.

Wow! That REI is gorgeous! Ours is no-frills in a strip mall.

Wow! That REI is gorgeous! Ours is no-frills in a strip mall. Plus ours is in an area of town that is less than desirable and the nearby residents would be very, very unlikely to be able to afford any of their items. It's always funny to see the well off tourists going there who are looking to get outfitted like they're going on a six month safari for their two night glamping trip. Little did they know the actual dangerous local wildlife is of the two-legged variety out in the parking lot.
