First day of spring brought some wintery conditions here in Breckenridge, otherwise it has been mostly warm and sunny with a couple powder days mixed in. Crowds have become a bit less crazy since earlier in March. We’re picking our ski days between the weekend crowds and slushy conditions of the warm days. Definitely not safe to ski on slushy days based on the increased amount of injured skiers taking rides on the patrol sleds which end up right outside our window at the clinic.
Mixing up activities on non-ski days with the rec center, library story time, pool, parks, sledding and chores. Grocery store runs become a bit more involved when you don’t have a vehicle with a toddler. While it’s relatively close by, it’s still a bus ride and then hauling the goods back in reusable bags (doing our part to not exacerbate this issue). Charlie’s demands for certain elevators, bus numbers/colors and a particular seat on the bus add a whole new dimension to the chore.
We took advantage of the onsite daycare last week and it was great! Dropped the little guy off at 9am and then Cindy and I enjoyed a snowy day of skiing. Skiing in fresh powder reminds us of the joy of surfing on a glassy day with nothing but the enjoyment of the power of nature.
Excited for daycare!
Let’s shred!
