It ended up being a really good day. I did something I have been wanting to do for a really long time and somehow managed not to get myself out of trouble.
8:00 am- ate breakfast while watching The Departed
8:15- went back to bed
11:15- woke up to my mom calling and bragging about watching a coyote, a moose, and a wolf
11:30- cup of coffee
11:50- headed out to ski to test out my new boards
12:00- lost track of time as the new boards took me to new heights
-met a townie on the lift who forgot his pass so I let him borrow my bus pass to go back to get it
-took some solo runs practicing the "catch and release" turns I learned yesterday which are pretty radical, makes me feel like I am skiing inside out, but allows me to ski with more control when I am flying down the slope
-met back up with townie (and let me just say this guy lives the life of a ski bum, skied in Argentina all last summer, leaving for Japan for 3 weeks on Thursday, skies in Jackson Hole everyday, I want to learn how you manage such a sweet life)
- hiked with townie out of bounds and saw some BEAUTIFUL views with the sun hitting just perfectly (got to check that off my list of things to do but want to go again)
- skied a face called 4 Points- who knew there would still be powder?
- not used to the wet powder under the new skis and took an exhilarating tumble and got up laughing, covered head to toe in snow
- skied to the tram nonstop (never get that skiing with the family)
- hopped on the tram to make more tracks outside the "forbidden gates" but realized that my phone fell out of my pocket
-townie challenges himself to cover our tracks to find the phone (presumably in the area of the tumble)
3:15 (sense of time comes back) went back to the condo and had some homemade soup (decided that I am a total soup-addict)
5:30- got my phone back
6:00-went to the Snake River Grill for dinner and decided to try something new... squash soup garnished with goose and fuji apples, i liked it
And that was pretty much my day, but I have decided that I should have spent some time reading so that is what I will go do until I fall to sleep. Goodnight!
