Sorry, I'm probably really thick and missing something obvious, but I have to ask: where is your wife going exactly for skiing in this season? None of the resort in the northern hemisphere are open yet, and destinations in the southern hemisphere are all closed now or closing down really soon. So unless she jumps on a plane to some really exotic skiing destination I don't know about I'm really really curious...

[Later edit: Duh! She's probably *water* skiing... Silly me.]
