Sunday,

Ski afternoon.

We got some really wet snow after all the friday rain.

The place was packed, some obnoxious younsters. I used to be one of those, I am pretty sure. Saw many close call and a few impact.

Did 8 runs with 5 black. I am starting to get those edge in some not perfect but working on it.

We could go to CO and kidnap @Dani_Shugart. Scenery, awesome hiking, skiing, snowshoeing and biking, and the added Dani bonus!

Yes please! Although when it comes to snow, I’m too much of a baby. I’ll cheer you all on from inside somewhere toasty. :heart:

Sounds like we need a summer AND a winter destination.
I will also opt of of skiing, but I am always down for the desert and warm weather activities. SCO Springs or a little more south west in the San Juans would be amazing!

I mean, we don’t even have to ski! Maybe we should just gather in a warm room (but not too warm, or I suspect @donnerschweer and I will become overheated and cranky) and TALK about skiing or not skiing and biking or not biking. Why we like or don’t like things. While we have high protein snacks, which I expect @Dani_Shugart to bring.

I would imagine that we could talk about sport and training as well as the injuries that impact our efforts to enjoy them for several days without ever touching on anything non-sport.

We actually just booked a 1 week of skiing out in BC.

That sounds wonderful! On a side note I require a coffee cup, some way to brew said coffee, a view and good company. I am cool with anything else, or nothing else. Lol.

Agreed. Goes perfectly with what @EmilyQ said and @donnerschweer’s non-negotiable.
A warm coffee shop, with amazing coffee, and pastries. Balance for the protein snacks, we need carbs for the adventures ladies!
I’m throwing it out there, my town has at least five top notch coffee shops (I’m sure there are more, have a few to try still), beautiful woods, skiing and snowshoeing, or a river to float in the summer. Mountain biking/trail running. Farm to table restaurants, micro brewies (I’m pretty sure a few of you like beer?). You get it. It’s an outdoor, food, coffee and hippie paradise.

Thursday

Physio in the morning.

Ski after work. We got some fresh snow about 10cm but the temperature dropped to -14oC and it felt like -22oC. My fingers got a bit cold after 1 hour.

The snow was a bit heavy and sticky. So harder on my knee but felt good after 1 run.

Sunday,

Ski both Saturday and today. Lost count of how many runs we did. We have very mild temperatures at the moment. Yesterday’s snow was amazing, today was pretty icy but manageable.

Tomorrow, I am going back to the 4 days upper / lower split.

BW this morning was 136.8lb

We are getting some gears for our March trip to Sun Peak like ski and boot bags. Kind of very excited about a real trip away from home. It’s been about 10 years since we fly away. We had many fun adventures but stayed closer to home.
