Hey everyone!
Back by popular demand, it’s time to have some more fun with skiing.
Spring Skiing this time.
So, again, decide if you are going on your Spring
Skiing trip with your family Out West or Back East and prepare accordingly:
Out West -- Sweet! Corn Snow!!! Meet you, 10:18am, top of the Back
Bowls…
Back East -- Sweet Corn what? Sweet Corn on the Cob? You can get
it at the Lobstah Shack down the road...
Out West -- Waterproof pants required.
Back East -- Pants, in general, required.
Out West -- Sun exposure warning extreme. Hydrate with H20
accordingly.
Back East -- Mud and rock exposure warning extreme. Hydrate with
beer accordingly (after gouging the $%$# out of the base of your skis.)
Out West -- Bored, hot, imported, Argentinian, 20-year-old Lifties
ready to go home.
Back East -- ??? Lifties: “Uh, This is my home.”
Out West -- Live bands, tank tops, spring break festivals après-ski.
Back East -- Umbrellas, hail, windshield-wipers full blast when
you flee.
Out West -- Giggly, hooting, bikini clad gals on snowboards and
skis. (Prepare your teens!)
Back East -- Crabby, soggy, 18 layers of clothing clad wives on
your case: “Next year we are going to the BAHAMAS!” (Prepare your wallet!)
Out West -- Celebrity spotting at the base lodge while having a cold beverage.
Back East -- Grass-patches spotting at the base lodge while having
a hot beverage.
And finally…. it really comes down to this, no matter what time
of year it is…
Let’s face it -- Out West -- World’s Happiest Skiers
Let’s face it -- Back East -- World’s Best Skiers
And with that, we bid ski season and the snow-pack adieu as the
final few weeks come to an end. Happy Spring Skiing and see you next season!
Namaste & Three Cheers! -OM
You nailed it, Outdoorsy Mama!
