We’ve got a boatload of ‘firsts’ ahead of us so before
reality sets in; we’re taking a few days to escape the normal rush of things.
It’s winter. Let’s head for the mountains!
This winter has thrown me for a loop. December came and
went. January has arrived and we’re yet to get any material amount of snow. Doesn’t
Ol’ Man Winter know that my electric boots were made for walkin’?! And that’s
just not what they’re going to do unless temperatures dip below chilly here in the DC Metro Area. Get it
together, Winter. Get it together.
Fortunately for me, Wintergreen Ski Resort has enough snow
making potential to cover a football field with 37’ of snow in 24 hours. We
visited from Thurs-Sunday and spent most of our time enjoying Jake and each
other’s company. The weather was all over the place. It was clear on Friday,
nasty on Saturday, and rainy on Sunday.
I skied on Saturday, which was the perfect way to test my
new GoPro. The GoPro is a lot of fun. I need to keep in mind, however, that it
captures all of my moments: good and bad. …like the moment at the end of the
video when I get lost on the mountain. Left? Right? Map. Right? Left? Map. Oh forget
it…
The surface was good but the story of the day was the visibility
(or lack there of).
We had a lot of fun. It was tough at times for Ali to get around
but she managed real well. We’re happy to be home in our own bed and ready to take on the
year ahead of us.
