It seems like I'm settling into a slightly-more-than-monthly cadence with writing. To be honest, I'd like to write more than that, but I'm practicing meeting myself where I am this year, so. I don't have a topic in mind today, so I'm just gonna write and see what happens.
Ski season is nearly over. Arguably, it is over, but we're still going up this weekend to get the last couple turns we can. These pics are from a couple weeks ago when we were already skiing in t-shirts. It's been rainy and cold this week though, so we're hoping there's some snow up on the mountains.
Going on the last ski trip of the season is always a little sad, but a little relieving. I love skiing (snowboarding - I just grew up saying "going skiing" and never really changed even though I changed sports), being in the mountains and being gone from the city and my laptop for the weekend. On the other hand, the drive is exhausting, and not being home for 2/3 of the weekends in the winter makes it hard to stay on top of life stuff. So it's a bit of a relief when I know I don't have to do the drive again for several months, even though I'll miss the snow and the mountains.
For years, I've wanted some sort of outdoor hobby to replace skiing in the summer time. This year, I think my partner and I are going to take up rollerblading (her) and longboarding (me), either in the park or down by the beach. I'm hoping it'll scratch the itch to zoom and be outside and see some trees during the summer - and as a bonus, I'll only need to drive across the city instead of across the state :)
