Slushbasin
Posted in Uncategorized with tags ski on January 28, 2009 by VH1Saturday marked the last day of the kids ski school. Where others see lemons, I see lemonade. Check out this photo
This picture was taken at 12:30 on Saturday afternoon. I didn’t get a photo of the parking lot, but what you would have seen was my Suburban in the front row with 10 other cars. Sure it was raining buckets, sure the kids were freezing, sure the snow was worse than concrete, but lets take a look at the bright side:
1. If I would have been skiing I could have lapped the runs without having to wait in line.
2. Preferred parking equal to what a celebrity thinks they are entitled to.
3. A seat in the lush Snowbasin lodge. This never happens!
4. My 4 year-old received a “private lesson” for the cost of a group lesson. No other parent would have dared to let their child go out in that mess!
The kids are learning early that a bad day on the ski hill is better than a good day of community service (the only other option the kids had for Saturday was cleaning the church).
Snowshoe Saturday
Posted in Snowshoe with tags ski on January 19, 2009 by VH1While Dug, Rick and Mark were peak bagging, Iwas strapping on the snowshoes with the wife and Quincess. This was a first for me. I have only really strapped snowshoes on for practical uses (avy beacon training, feeding horses, etc…) The horse story had a nearly fatal ending and maybe someday the details will be revealed. We had a lovely walkabout with no set destination. Here is a pic from a perfect day
