Monday was Martin Luther King Holiday, so Jessica had the day off, which meant it was a holiday for me. It was a win win because she got to spend the day with Cayson and I got to get out and do something different. The thing I wanted to do was SKI!!!
It snowed 8" of snow overnight so all the ski resorts had POWDER. It was an adventure to say the least. At first I was going to drive there in Tate's 2 wheel drive Corolla, but the road were pretty bad driving the car to his work to pick up the ski pass, so I ordered a Lift. The Lift driver also only had a 2 wheel drive car, so, I ordered a Ski Uber and he got me up the mountain to Sundance - I got there around 11:00.
By 11:30 I was on the chairlift headed for a day of snow adventure. I did all sorts of runs: Maverick, Amy's Ridge, Round Up, Bear Claw, Lone Pine, Long Hollow, Diamond Back, and Last Chance. I had skied very well with only one strange fall until I did Amy's Ridge. It was full of moggles and my legs were tired so I wiped out three times. Usually I wiped out because I ended up trying to slow down and ended up skiing backwards. Yikes! The real problem was that I let fear get into my head. That's when I always mess up - fear!
It was a great day, my last run was fantastic - fast and furious. After returning the rental skis and polls, I went to the Creekside Cafe' and bought a hot chocolate and a colossal cookie while waiting for my Uber ride to come pick me up - except they canceled on me. Then the next one canceled on me. Eventually, Tate, Cayson and Jessica came to pick me up. They were travel heros!
