Our normal routine on our ski trips is to get up early, hoping to hit the slopes soon after the lifts open, and then ski as much as we can before the lifts close. When I woke up at 7:00 this morning, I thought we were doing fine, but for whatever reason, it took me longer than I expected to get breakfast cooked, and everyone seemed to operating in slow motion this morning.
When we finally got to the ski area, we lost another half hour or so because we decided to sign up for a group ski lesson tomorrow. Then it was off to explore the mountain. We found pockets of deep (knee deep or more) powder, and yesterday's ten inches of snow made for incredible ski conditions today. We also began to explore the trees around the resort, especially in the afternoon when the winds started to pick up again.
We ended a little early today, so we could go shopping for some new ski mits for my daughter, whose old pair have probably served beyond their reasonable life expectancy. While we were looking, I picked out a pair for myself. Normally I wear gloves, but on the coldest days, they really aren't up to the task, so hopefully these can keep my fingers warm on the bitter cold days.
No excuses tomorrow...we must be on the mountain by 9:30 for our ski lesson.
