Ski Posted March 11, 2008 Report 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
Melissa Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Looks awesome, nice pic!!! I'm heading up in a half hour... Quote
stever2003 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Taking your kid skiing while she's out sick from school...that's sweet. Quote

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.... Quote

Is Ty in public or private school? Quote

We homeschool, but she attends a public school (for social reasons) where they are learning to tell time in 2nd grade....it's brutal up here, Poc. Brutal. Quote

snoskier Posted March 11, 2008 Report 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 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!

Ski Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Posted March 12, 2008 You're gonna miss it so much when you move away, Melissa. Quote
xNick11 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Ski, I saw you on your way down the road. Today was definitely a fun day tho. Quote
Melissa Posted March 12, 2008 Report 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
n0xidee Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Some of my best childhood memories are when my dad would "declare a snow day" and take me skiing after snow storms! Lucky, even when I had a snow day from school I was taken to work with my dad and put to work in the warehouse Quote
