1/50
It's my intention to be on the mountain 50 days this year (generally not full days, but just an hour or two or three...I have toddlers and a husband and a job, errands to run, etc. after all...)
Today was the first day and it was glorious. Not too cold, barely any people, the snow good for so early in the season...a few little patches of powder and some steep stuff at the end that I felt very comfortable on...it's been so long and felt so good to be on a board again...
And, some other lovely things that happened today:
- The kids playing beautifully with their wooden toy trains...
- And outside mid-day...we tried to make snowballs and it was impossible because the snow was so powdery...which I explained to the kids and later Luke said, "We couldn't make snowballs because the snow was sugar!"
- So grateful for a couple hours to snowboard...
- Chili and a warm fire after coming in from the cold...
- Our Elf on the Shelf is back...his name is Mumpho Elphie (named last year by the kids) and the kids are so cute standing in front of him and talking about what they want for Christmas...
XOXO
