“None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.”
Henry David Thoreau
What a weekend! It really doesn’t get any better in terms of company, activities, weather and fun! 5 of us, girls that is, hit the road and stayed in Winthrop for the weekend to explore the ski trails that I always rave about. We had cloudless skies the whole weekend, skied for hours each day and rewarded ourselves with hot tub soaks, good food and of course some beer/wine and chocolate. Check out the pictures and our looong ski on Saturday!
Our second annual ski weekend saw us staying at Sun Peaks, BC, for 4 days. What a blast! We were renting a house that turned out to be super-nice (5 bedrooms, 4 baths, huge kitchen), super-convenient (right on the downhill and xc ski trails) and wonderful to relax in. We skied the xc ski trails which even includes a ride in one of the chairlifts to access the xc trails on top of the mountain … and a fun downhill to connect to the other trails. The first day was somewhat cold but then it warmed up and we really enjoyed our time on the trails (GPS Download). We had yummy breakfasts, delicious dinners in the village and plenty of chat/reading time at the house. During our last lunch before heading home we even got to chat with Nancy Greene! (non-Canadians, look her up online!)
Happy thoughts and best wishes, love and peace for your body and soul … enjoy the holidays! Life in paradise (i.e. Winthrop, Washington) is so good that I am going to have a hard time leaving yet again. Can’t we delay the start of the semester just a little bit until the ski trails aren’t as good anymore? I could get used to skiing every morning, hunkering down in a warm cabin and getting some work done in the afternoons, accompanied by chocolate and other goodies of course.
Keyla and my temporary dog Stellar are sure enjoying this holiday season. All the best!
