Mountaintop Part Deux

Back on the mountain today. Last night we all crashed at 10:00 and I didn’t face the day until 9:00 this morning. A solid 11 hours of sleep helped me get up and go on the slopes today. After the first warm-up run on Schoolmarm and Silverspoon I felt ready to tackle some more challenging material. I nervously agreed to head down Spring Dipper with Rick, Matt, Dad, and Courtney. My skillz were up to par and I managed to make it safely down to the lift to give it another go.

Green runs? Ha! Who needs ’em? Um, me. After a little cajoling I managed to make it down Paymaster, another blue, and I found myself ready for some easier cruising. Thankfully, we stayed out for only a little longer and made our way in for lunch. Once we arrived back at the condo I knew I was done for. Once I got my shin-splinting, ankle-breaking boots off and settled down on the couch with my headache I was in for the day. this afternoon I have been happily napping, watching TV, and munching on some of Matt’s out-of-this-world-delicious smoked brisket.

I just finished up a yoga stretch session to loosen up these tight muscles. I set it on “Relax” playlist and was pleasantly surprised when this gem came on. Jónsi has a peculiar and distinct voice. I think it’s perfect for stretching, walking, or just hanging out. For me it was the perfect way to unwind after another day of shredding.
