See the tall windows between the trees? That’s where we are spending the week.
We are spending a week at Sun Peaks during spring break. We rented a 2 bedroom and loft townhouse with ski-in/ski-out access. But let me tell you, ski-out is a pain. You ski out to a chair, then you ski all the way down Mount Morrisey, pop-off your skis, walk across the street into the main village to get to Tod Mountain and Sundance Mountain where we did most of our skiing.
The second day of skiing.. The obligatory pose for the annual photobook.
Girls in front, boys following behind
The kids and I signed up for a 4-hour private ski lesson – just to get back into the groove of things. We skied for 4 days as a family (before I wimped out). The kids also tried doing some jumps – but they didn’t get the big air, just spills and chuckles. Although I am not the best skier, but I managed to ski side by side with Jeff just one time – let me tell you that’s an achievement for me! My nose was running and my mouth was wide open gasping for air but I didn’t let up, I maintained my speed. When we stopped, we both chuckle as he knew I was trying hard to keep up. Anyways, I will have to wait for next season to try that again..
This morning’s sunrise during my walk to the main village
On the morning of the 5th day, overtired, I took a nasty spill on an easy run… yeah, I had enough, those gams ran out of juice. This morning, I woke up with a stiff neck but was determined to walk to the main village with an objective – to scalp my lift ticket for the last day. “Psst, hey mister, you wanna buy a lift ticket?” The third person I asked bought the ticket from me for $60, I can’t complain really.. He was a senior who bought the ticket for his wife and it still worked out cheaper than the window senior rate. He was pretty happy about the savings and I was happy about getting some money back.
