Is there such thing as Blizzard Burn?

Postcard perfect: This pic isn't from our recent ski trip, but of two super special guys skiing in Tahoe a *few* years back.

Despite the surprise snow, we made the New Year's ski trip to Bend and had an absolutely lovely time...despite (and I will capitalize here) EXTREME weather conditions on the mountain (therefore, no pics because how could I take my gloves off to take a shot of snow falling parallel to the ground?? I couldn't even unzip my pocket). But we didn't care! We had so much fun skiing that the pelting of ice snow type crystals on our faces in high wind didn't register until a day later when I still had bright red cheeks and a peeling chin. Hmmm...to think I liberally lubed all of us up with SPF to avoid sunburns. H claims he's never heard of a "Blizzard Burn" but I definitely got one, so if it doesn't exist, then I have just coined a new term.

Hope the New Year turns out lovelier for everyone than they hope. Do something great for yourself. You deserve it!
