Our first ski day this year!
Blue Mountain about 1.5 hours from Ivyland.
I always like to make “first tracks” b/c the conditions
deteriorate as the day goes on when more
people ski & the temperature rises.

Sad Scene 😦

Blame Michael for the lack of snow.
He bought a snow blower this year.

There were 25 of 39 trails open –
obviously this was one of the closed ones….

one of the race team kids took a spill
& made it back to the lodge but then
he had to be rescued. Hopefully it’s not
serious!

Blue Mountain completely renovated their upper lodge –
It’s really very nice.  We usually ski from the lower lodge
so I didn’t even realize they did this upgrade.
Nice work Blue Mountain!

License Plate in the parking lot……

We had a great morning of skiing but by late
morning conditions were quite poor.
Every run was a mogul/bump run –
even the green ones (beginners!)!!!

We stopped at Whole Food Markets for lunch
& they have a wine/beer bar too.
ELVIS was in the building!!
Today is his birthday!

Michael making a beer selection.
All my photos here have to be stealth b/c
you’re not allowed to take pictures.
I didn’t want to get arrested by
the picture police!

I gave Weasel a dog bone & she carried it
around for about an hour before she ate it.
It was funny watching her NOT eat it
& just carry it everywhere!

Still-time
you can always change……

————————————————
It is not the situation itself
that makes life one way or the other.
It is the way you choose to view
and to live the situation that makes all the difference.

Make the assumption that your life today

is the very best it can possibly be.
Then go out and prove that assumption true
by the way you live.

~Ralph Marston
