It was righteously rad.
While we were skunked by rain at Steven's Pass on Friday, we made the best of it by spending a copious amount of time in the hot tub and hitting the ramp and the table made by some super industrious chicas.
Ailey, Sara, and I spent a lot of time in the hot tub. Hey, we paid our money-might as well use it, right?
We made sure to hit the ramp too. I even went out of my comfort zone and did it on a snowboard. I know, me? Snowboard? Trust me, I thought it was weird too. But also pretty hilarious. And maybe a little bit scary. But mostly hilarious.
We hit up Mission Ridge, where a layer of fresh snow fell on some really, really old snow. It was so gratifying to finally see the snow fall. Some of the skiers headed out to Bomber Cliffs and at the end of the day, EVERYONE hiked the ridge for some slackcountry turns.
It just does not get much better than that- lots of girls hiking in pursuit of the sweetest turns. I like.
On Sunday, we headed out for Steven's Pass again, where we were treated to fresh snow and sunshine. Whoever controls the weather must have heard that the chicas were on their way.
By the end of the weekend, I was beyond exhausted, but so so happy. I skied my butt off, I spent time with girls who love the snow as much as I do, I maybe drank a little bit and I ate my way in to oblivion. The first thing I did when I got home? Put Girls' Ski Weekend 2012 on the calendar. And only then did I kiss my husband and child.
Want to join us at Crystal Mountain the last weekend of January in 2012? Well, better get on the list now because we only let a select group of sick skiing chicas in to our ranks.
