Ski Week Day 5

Our last day on the mountain and we woke up with sore feet and tired legs. Putting on our gear, we were reminded of all the sore spots but we knew we couldn’t waste the day inside the cabin. The snow was falling heavily outside and we got out right as the lifts opened and got to work. Today we went over to Milly first and wanted to try Milly Bowl while it was soft. It was fun but with so much new snow it was hard work for all of us - mostly me! In this 5th day in a row of skiing, my legs got tired quick and I was definitely feeling it after a couple of runs. But, of course we push on and just keep skiing more! That’s always the answer right?! 

Our good friends Brad and Sharon Baldauf met up with us today and it’s always a treat to ski with those two! Liev sported his reindeer onesie and keen put on his Chiefs jersey once again. We were skiing in style today! 

We went about doing our favorite routes and runs and jumping everything we could. Of course we hit the terrain parks, the slide, the chute, Hawkeye trees, and everything else we could think of. All the while, we were having the snowiest day of the whole week and had so much new snow every run. We loved it! 

We knew that we had to pack up and leave today so we took a long lunch break and started gathering our things. But even knowing that, we still knew we wanted to get in a few more runs before we packed up completely. The snow was just too good to say goodbye quite yet! We finished off the evening with one last run together on crest and Josh and the kids jumping off Camel Hump while I took pictures of them doing it :)

When we finally got back to the car to pack up it was amazing how much snow had accumulated during the week. Just a reminder of how blessed we had been with the weather and the amazing powder we had all week! 

As we said good bye to this beloved cabin once again, we can’t help but feel so grateful for the time we’ve had, the memories we’ve made together and the beauty that surrounds us. What an amazing place to be able to escape to for a short time!
