Day 39

Sis wanting a Daddy day + Luke totally up for the slopes = an unexpected last day on the mountain. And what a great (but strange) day it was. Luke likes the moguls on Norther so I went down with him (and terrible, big and icy and unforgiving, no question Luke made it through better than I did)...and my pocket was unzipped and I lost my phone but we looped back around and there it was (although it did mean we had to do the moguls again, lol). And then Luke lost a ski on the lift but it got sent up. And then we lost his fruit snacks and never found them, oh, the tears over fruit snacks, seriously.

But it was sunny and warm and the snow was decent and Luke's just no problem down any blue I take him down and at the end of the day we by chance got to ride down on the coveted blue gondola--with girls dressed as unicorns, no less. Luke had seen it (the gondola) riding up (there's just one) and mentioned that he'd love to ride it down and there it was when we were ready to go, so cool. Luke and I have decided that it needs to be a closing day tradition to ride the blue gondola. And that we need costumes for closing day next year. And Sissy and friends would be great too. Also, as an aside, I want to hike up and ride down start and end of the season next year but that's a non-kid endeavor...

Happy Closing Day!!
