| Just got back from ski trip to Utah. There was 12 inches of fresh powder and skiing was incredible. Wore my Heelys the entire trip (except when skiing or in the hot tub). The plane going out was only 2/3 full with last ten or so rows empty. I had to do it - I Heelyed couple times up and down isle. One flight attendant saw me and smiled. Learned a couple things in the airport: no problem with getting Heelys through NTA security - they didn't even slow down x-ray belt to get close look, Heelys do not work well on moving sidewalks - grooved metal surface slows down wheels way too much, and Heelys help pass time away while waiting to board plane or claim luggage - do make it a little hard to carry luggage, skis and boot bag. |

We flew bankrupt Delta - the carpet was thin and well worn.
The condo we stayed at was brand new with freshly paved streets with nice sloped hills. |
