Today was our first flip flop weather day in Ontario. Combine that with St. Patrick’s Day and just about everyone it seemed was thinking about green beer on patios. I had something else on my mind that sounded a little more like “Ahhh the snow is all melting and I haven’t been on the slopes yet this year!” That has never happened since I started skiing and snowboarding as a kid. I don’t know what happened this year! So I gathered up my friend Jen who luckily has Wednesdays off and is a snowboarder herself and we headed off to a ski hill about half an hour away.
The weather was so perfect that I’m sure this woman was comfortable:
and there was no snow anywhere except on the ski hill.
Spring skiing is the greatest invention. Take the cold, bitter wind and icy conditions out and there is nothing to not love, if you ask me. Our faces looked like this all day long.
(And I’m not one to pass up a holiday, so I’m drinking a Stella from a green bottle in a green sweatshirt on my couch now although it’s past midnight… better late than never? I love March Break.)



In the gondola, freezing our buns off. Look at my frozen hair!
There were moments when I looked around and just asked myself “Is this real?” It was so beautiful.
