We have completed six full days of skiing. It seems weird to complain that it wasn't cold enough, but really, for a ski vacation, it has been much too warm. I am impressed with the grooming crews, who are doing an incredible job of keeping the conditions on the mountain reasonably decent. They have had almost no new snow through the month of January, and I don't know how much further they'll be able to stretch the 100+ inches they got in December before they need to start closing trails.
Our last two days both started with us enjoying some fast runs on the hard morning snow, while they were still empty. As more people found their way onto the slopes, we moved into the trees for a while and finished each day working to improve our skiing in the moguls. We have skied hard this week, pushing ourselves and our comfort zones, and I think we all have made some improvements to our skiing.
We are packing tonight, even though we don't head home until Sunday. We need to check out from our condo tomorrow morning and we are staying in a hotel tomorrow night so our daughter can attend the Bridgestone Winter Driving School (http://www.winterdrive.com). She will have a whole day of learning to drive in snowy and icy conditions, including significant time practicing driving on a frozen track. It actually sounds like it should be fun, and I hope that she will learn how to drive safely in winter conditions.
It's been a weird week. Between my colleague from work being here with his family, and the Pentagon Ski Club group that is here, we've found ourselves spending more time than normal skiing with other people. We still had plenty of time to do our own thing, however, and it really has been a full week. I am beginning to look forward to being home and getting back to the normal routine.
