The day started out ok. Until 20 miles from the slopes I realized I was so worried that the kids had everything that I forgot my jacket. It was plenty warm to board with just my vest but it was also foggy and drizzling. That was the bad part. So I bought a nice waterproof shell at the pro shop. Hey, no good time comes cheap.
First few runs were a bit sketchy for Kiki. First time on a chair lift, first time off a chair lift. Then it took her quite a while to get her feet and skill back. A few tears and finally she was back in business.
Again, no good time comes cheap. 3 hot dogs, 2 burgers, some fries, cheese curds and 3 sodas = $39.00 OUCH! We had granola bars and apples in the car.
Of course being so warm and wet Mackenzie's gloves were soaked. Because the also had holes in them. Back to the pro shop. Cha Ching! Thank god her lift ticket was free with my lift ticket.
I have to say Joel and I dropped in and had some nice sessions. Everything came back very quick. I have to be careful when pointing out the "old dudes". I realize the age difference between me and the 'old' dudes is probably 10 years or less. I am an 'old dude' in this demographic.
However, I did get props from some kids, who thought my set up was sweet. Now only if my skills were up to par of my sweet gear.
Around 4 Mackenzie declared she hurt all over. We went to the coffee shop, sat down assesed the situation and realized we were done. Not bad, we only had 2 hours left on our lift passes anyway. So we packed up the T-Wrx with the gear and headed out.
Dinner and drinks.
Got home around 7:30.
A great day with my kids. I hope they enjoyed it as much as me.
Although I am a bit sore today.
