Eleven people in three cars headed north for Canada on Friday. Not everyone knew each other. I knew them. Some coworkers. Some non-coworkers. Friends of friends. And a man from Aspen. I was nervous as the organizer, but once everyone arrived at the condo and the beers were cracked, laughter began. And didn't stop all weekend.
We road/skied all day Saturday. I was able to board with most everyone and was having a great day until I flew off a four foot drop and somersaulted. Luckily there was no pain or injury! -just a bit of fear until the sky cleared and visibility increased. The plan was to meet for Apre´Ski in the village = beers. There is nothing more satisfying than beers after skiing or snowboarding.
Then we headed back to the condo for chili, cornbread and tortellini. Some hot tub. And of course the always ALWAYS fun, Apples to Apples. And a few more beers. Josh and I reasoned in the hot tub as we looked up at the stars and out at the snow, that really, we had absolutely nothing to complain about. And it was true. What a great day.
Sunday some of us went back out to the slopes despite the 4 degree temperature. Then we headed back to Seattle and ended the trip with a great dinner at the Boundary Bay Brewery. I feel so lucky to have such a great group of people around me here in Seattle. If I'm going to be away from family and friends in MN, I couldn't ask for a better circle.
