We are at the end of another ski season. If luck is with us, we'll have one more weekend this year. While it hasn't been a stellar ski season in Utah or Colorado, there have been plenty of days to enjoy the good life of blue sky winter days and fresh air.
In the above picture you can see me in the background, arms spread, loving life.
Some days are gray, some are snowy, some have clouds, and as you can see, some ski days are topped off with the most brilliant blue ever.
We'll ride up the hill on chairlifts that are slow and chairlifts that are fast; some have cushions and foot rests and some are just a hard seat, without even a safety bar; some hold 2, 3, 4, even 6 people.
But, if there is no chair lift and we need to get to the good runs, we'll even take alternative means of transport!
It doesn't matter how we get there or what color the sky is, skiing keeps us active all winter. It helps make sure we get some vitamin D, at least a little bit on our nose, and it clears out the hours of sitting at a computer with much needed fresh air.
We are always hungry following a ski day and if we think ahead the crock pot provides us with amazing meals. This past weekend we enjoyed a pork roast, with dilled baby red potatoes, salad, and sauteed green beans. Don't forget the red wine. Yum Yum!
If we are lucky, we can even start out our days right with something like this Green Bean, Potato, and Feta Cheese Frittata.
Whether the ski season is filled with tons of new snow or just great blue day groomers, we are always a little sad to see it end. Our skis will wait patiently for next season, perhaps more patiently than ourselves. Next September I'll already be thinking about the pre-ski season workout to strengthen my knees and the upcoming great ski days with friends, followed by well deserved meals and laughter.
Thanks to all our skiing friends for sharing in yet another ski season!
