2019 Ski Season Kick-off

(Mostly written in the lodge on Monday afternoon before sitting in a freezing (dead) car waiting for D-man.......) Fortunately, the drive back wasn’t bad and we were home a little after 6:00. 

It’s really snowing outside right now (20+ inches forecast over the next several days), but we had great snow and sunny, bluebird days up until around noon today. Besides Paul twisting his knee on Saturday afternoon, it has been a great trip. Skiing, hot tubbing, game playing, movies and relaxing were all on tap. And per usual on MLK Weekend, the crowds and lines were non-existent today (and the new gondola rocks).

Some quotes from the weekend: 

“I am not dead Mom.” - D-man in response to my text checking in 

“I’m not a great skier, but I’m not horrible” - Julia in reference to skiing the afternoon with D-man. I’m just very thankful For an activity a Mom and her almost 15 year old son can do together 

“Winner’s tea” - what Paul and I were NOT drinking this weekend 

And several quotes related to wolves and freezing on the chairlift thanks to the movie Frozen (NOT the Disney one).
