Ski Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Well, my sick kid was jonesing to get outdoors after missing her third straight day of school, so we headed up for a few laps this afternoon. High 30's and a bright blue sky...the snow was soft and we didn't pass---or get passed---on a half dozen laps down Cannonball. You really start noticing the sun a little higher in the sky these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking your kid skiing while she's out sick from school...that's sweet. My kid has my permission to cut school as often as she wants to ski She has her mom's brains, anyway....

Is Ty in public or private school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoskier Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Some of my best childhood memories are when my dad would "declare a snow day" and take me skiing after snow storms! Hats off to ski for being a cool dad. The snow looks really nice... wish I was heading up tonight...(stupid work ) ... but its for the best b/c I need to save my legs for my racing debut on thursday.

Melissa Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Wow, the mountain was AWESOME TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!! Yes, seriously, I needed that many exclamation points to express how much fun it was. We got up there around 6:30 and skiied til about 8:30. Cannonball had the best snow. Boomer wasn't bad. Whistler, Switch, and the lower half of the boarder cross trail were all good too. Snow was so fast! I'm so glad I got up. I've been a bit out of skiing for the past month, only like getting up once a week b/c life has been so busy, but now that a lot of stuff has calmed down, I can't wait to get up there a ton more!

xNick11 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Ski, I saw you on your way down the road. Today was definitely a fun day tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 You're gonna miss it so much when you move away, Melissa. Haha, I know. Wintergreen will only be like an hour away though. The funny thing is that even if Richmond had a mountain like 10 minutes away, I'd never have time to go. T-18 months I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
