OK: Here's the situation, so my infamous RED Group Posse (Retired Extremely Dangerous) ski whackjobs all left for Florida March 1-- (bastids
) to chase the little white ball and go alligator fishing for all their damn errant tee shots .
So at this point of the year i usually ski solo EXcept on rare Blubird Days---------- when the Queen goes with me to ski . She always will go with me but only skis on primo days as i 'll explain later.
So after this weeks storm, we decided to test out the pow at the "mighty" Titus . It was warm, partly sunny and conditions were sa-weet . Titus got a ton of snow in the last 2 storms and the mtn left several trails ungroomed and a few stashs were prime - so it was a great day for us both .
I decided to " reel it back" and ski with HER on her favorite trails in the AM and assume the role of coach ( um what i really mean is --- If she asked for help
) We took about 9 runs together in the AM and she was doing fine and enjoying herself . We'd decided to ski solo for awhile in the pm so i could satiate my inner speed demon .
Now skiing with the Queen is a real treat for me. Just as big a deal as skiing with my adult children and of course "da Grandboys". and My regular buddies in our "RED" group ski posse .
The Queen skis ONLY on blubird days NOW in late Feb and March after the
Posse leaves for Florida .She favors gentle cruisers now since she had surgery ( steel plate six screws etc etc)for a nasty inside the boot ankle break that happened on the FIRST day of a ski week vacation in North Conway a couple of years ago.
She is a fine multi- sport athlete and is great shape all the time working out 4/5 days a week since we've been together
I'm just very happy that she is still skiing and is very willing to go with me EVEN if she isn't skiing -- she's a great partner --- i'm a lucky ole fart
here's a few shots of her skiing yesterday and one of the coach too
Life ain't a dress rehearsal: Spread enthusiasm , avoid negative nuts.
