Boarded Out

Today is a slow day on the body front. And sore. A couple of weeks ago, when we got back from our trip Kelly and I were talking about things we really wanted to do; I really wanted to get some more turns in and at the time we had a ton of snow here. Then we had a string of 3 showings and an open house in 4 days, near the end of this a major rain storm moved through and, well, it pretty much tanked the local ski season.

I was pretty bummed, so Kelly being the most awesome wife in the world that she is told me to beat it to Sugarloaf the following weekend for a day. I did have a couple gift cards that were about to be worthless, so the lift ticket would be a freebie. Without hesitation I said yes. Then the next storm lined up...

The 'loaf got about 18" of new snow over the last weekend; when I showed up on Sunday morning the sun was starting to break through flurries and the groomers were exceptional. Spent the next couple hours riding solo until a buddy from NH got there, then we rode for another several hours in the afternoon. It was totally epic.

Anyhow, I didn't think I'd ever say it, but I'm pretty boarded out at this point, and looking back at this season, there's some pretty sweet notches on the old belt:
-hit 2 days at Kirkwood in January right after they got a big dump; it was the last storm there for about 6 weeks.
-hit Vail for 1.5 days after they got 100" (yeah, that's 100!) over the prior 3 weeks.
-carved up some freshies at Sugarloaf yesterday.
Throw in the handful of mixed days at the local hill and that's really a pretty phenomenal season!

So I'm stoked and got a belly full of fat turns. Here's to the long fast until next winter!
