Winter-Slash-Ski-Season

So this is what winter-slash-ski-season looks like outside.
There was a bus blocking the road to the ski hill Saturday morning....we waited...and waited...and as you can see WE are not the only ones.
While we waited and waited... I took a walk by this creek.
FINALLY...on the chair...and NO that is not a bad picture... its bad visibility. IF you wait for the perfect sun shining day to ski...you miss most of the season. So we ride even when we can't see.
Me...after a GREAT day!

In case you want to know what winter-slash-ski-season looks like on the inside:

Dust,
who has time to dust?
Laundry,
washing only what we need.
Neglected bathrooms,
the last thing on my mind.
No groceries,
only food necessary is in a fully stocked lunch bag found in the car.
Unopened mail,
may require too much time and attention.
Jackets, pants, helmets, goggles, gloves and boots scattered about,
easily accessible.
Skis and Snowboards crowding the garage,
still snow covered.
Disorganization,
when you spend this much time skiing/boarding what do you expect?

When the mountain closes and spring melts the last of our beloved snow...we’ll get back to taking care of life inside...but for now...there is a place that calls our names and we answer the call as often as possible. I've always said there is no place closer to Heaven then on any chair lift on top of a snow covered mountain.

As for me...I'm outta here.

If you need anything... you'll have to come find me, I'll be skiing.

  5. That is totally awesome. I'm so envious! When I was in high school, I was on the ski team -- we even skied at Whiteface the year after the Olympics were there. But alas, those days are long gone. The mountain nearest to us shut down a few years back. Now, we only cross-country ski -- and even that is becoming more rare. You are so lucky!

  6. So jealous of these gorgeous pictures!

    I am the most uncoordinated person out there. The first time I went skiing in Tahoe I did great and then I've regressed every time since! I blame it on the crappy snow at Big Bear.

    If only I could ski half as well as I can organize. :)

  10. You look so cute and happy! My older son has been begging to go snowboarding. We are just not cold people. I told him to wait and go with his college buddies.
