Although I keep showing pics of us skiing all these beautiful and extensive resorts what I haven't admitted is how much pain and tentativeness I'd been skiing with. To say nothing of a lack of confidence...every unanticipated bump was a killer.Well for those of you who know Kirk Hardwick (who was the person who got me really skiing again after having ACL surgery many years ago), there are times when a new person comes into your life who provides just the right kind of fun, adventure and encouragement. Well....here she is....Meagan Blitzer!!
At all of these areas they have really great mountain tours that the "Information" people (most volunteer one or two days a week)guide at different times of the day. Well onFeb. 23rd we joined one of these groups. Megan had run an earlier tour but we started talking and the rapport was instantaneous so she joined the other guide. It was just the five of us and one excellent snowboarder:
Fyi the mountain range you see in the background is Breckenridge.
Anyway, we hit some steep yet groomed terrain with perfect snow consistency and temp and I was finally flying down the mountain with total abandon and joy thanks to Meagan. Since then we've joined her very extended family (including darling 4 year old daughter Kiki who loves to fly through the trees!) for another great day of skiing. Then last Friday we had dinner at their house for killer pizza that her husband Brian made. We also got to meet her mom and dad and their 2 year old Chase.
The last 5 days have been unbelieveably busy for a new reason (next blog) so at least Meagan and I can stay in touch via text and Facebook. Again a note directed to my Alpental friends....she is a total ALNO !!!
