Skiing On A Busy Monday

The weather has been crazy, in a bad way for skiing, and for that matter, all winter sports. All outdoor skating has been compromised, and forget about Alpine and Nordi skiing. It’s not all bad, of course.

We actually hit the slopes last week at Suicide 6. It’s a bummer we have yet to really take advantage of our ski passes, but S6 has an amazing deal. $7.50 lift tickets all day. Normally I would just go to Pico because of our passes, but it’s far, and we can do a 2-3 hour day at S6 and still make it to afternoon activities, so that’s what we did. We met our friend J and skied for several hours. It felt good to be on the slopes, and it wasn’t crowded in the least bit. We got in a bunch of runs, and I think it’s good to be doing things that are not hockey related for a change. Plus, the kids are great skiers, and believe it or not, A is the one that worries me a bit at times because she loves to ski fast. Faster than me, that’s for sure.

We went to the lodge for lunch and had killer ski resort food, which amounted to cheeseburgers and fries, and then headed over for A’s drawing class. After that, we had karate, which we weren’t sure was even going to happen, but it did, adding to our long day. A small but good class.

After karate, time for supper and then to bed. What a long day, but was it ever fun. Plus we got to re-connect with some old friends, and it was only Monday. Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Adi Judas for the pic.
