Winter Park with the Marshall Family

The weather certainly put a wrinkle in the MLK ski weekend, but everyone skied, we braved the elements and everyone flexed their patience and adaptability muscles this weekend. 

We also enjoyed the hot tub, watched football, played games and made due with the food the Peavys procured. Jacki, Ari, Drake and I ventured out to the village on Saturday night to check out the scene, have a drink and grab the pizza. Everyone skied on Sunday even though viability was limited. Troopers! 

Monday was cold and still snowy and much of the mountain was closed for the morning, but several of us went and had a good couple of hours before coming back for hot tubbing and games - the snow finally stopped and we could see the runs from the condo. 

Unbelievably, the pass was still closed on Tuesday which made planning more challenging. We got a late checkout and some kids jumped in the hot tub and then some of us got on the mountain for a few runs. It was cold, but gorgeous and empty. 

As we sit on the road not to Silverthorne yet, it would be an understatement to say that this travel day is not what any of us expected. But, there is nothing we can do about it so I will practice gratitude for a ski weekend with my sister and her family and an amazing Peavy family who has also been wonderful the entire weekend. Here's to embracing snow, family time and flexibility.
