Long time since I posted. The season’s moving into Spring, which is a great time of year to ski except for the fact that it ends. Last weekend was incredible and unique. Saturday night we had very heavy snow and on Sunday morning we awoke to hand charges and 2 feet of fresh, light snow. Wow. The skiing was fantastic – I had at least 5 face shots on my first run (down Snag Tree) and that fun continued for most of the morning. Lynn and I had a babysitter for Elena which meant I could ski with my favorite ski buddy. Ben and Jenette were up too so we had a great time.
We picked up Devin at lunch and headed up Funitel which had not been open for too long. We cal Devin a powder-seeking missle and he lived up to that reputation. We pulled him through the flats or dug him out of the snow countless times. I discovered that the easiest way to get him back on his feet in the deep snow was to just lay down next to him and literally pick him up out of the snow. Then Shirley opened up and the three of us hiked over to Break It Out for more untracked. Devin is good. Really good. What huge fun!
We’re staying home this weekend. Work has exhausted both Lynn and I and we’re both hoping to sleep in this weekend. But I confess I’m going to be jonesing for it by Sunday.
