Valentine’s Day is my 1/2 birthday, so we decided to go out and celebrate. We went to Mountain Burger. I definitely ate more than The Mother and I may have eaten more than The Father too. I had a strawberry shake to start.
I ‘built’ my own burger: lamb patty, jack cheese, smoked bacon, pickles, and ketchup. YUM!
The waitress also brought us some chocolate covered strawberries – on the house – probably because I’m so cute. I ate most of them.
Saturday was stormy. There was a lot of skiing without really being able to see.
There was also a lot of powder. I don’t get done with MBSEF until 2:30 and then I always want to do a run with The Bigs, so we all skied from 9 am – 3:00 pm. I went to bed at 8:30 pm. The Mother went at 8:31 pm.
I am skiing great and getting confident. Watch me launch off this jump.
Nailed it.
On Sunday we went backcountry skiing. Due to an amazing traffic jam, we left from the Swampy Sno-Park and headed to Vista Butte (we had planned to park at the Vista Butte Sno-Park, so this change probably added 4 miles to our trip).
I am the Manimal, so this did not bother me at all and I was all smiles and positivity the whole way.
If you look carefully, you can see The Mother trailing behind me in the distance, bet it will be another 8:30 bedtime for her again tonight.
She may be behind, but at her pace, she sees things we miss. Like this poor guy.
We finally all made it to the top of Vista Butte and when the clouds clear there was a Vista!
Ready to attack the hill.
There was about a foot of mash potato like powder. I handled it no problem.
After our ski, we had a picnic in the parking lot. Some of you may remember this picture from a January picnic. The Bigs have fancy Cliq chairs and I am sitting on the ground. Well…
Nan and Pop thought this was not OK. So now I have my own Cliq chair. Much better.
It’s not all skiing all the time…I’ve been doing a lot of shoveling lately – inspiring my latest invention – the scooter snow plow.
When the snow comes it keeps coming. Great fun keep enjoying.
Quite the invention
Careful on those backcountry ski excursion, that you don’t ignore those strips of yellow tape across the trails-that could get you in big trouble! 🙂
You are wearing “the bigs” right out. I guess they will have at least two or more months of skiing and keeping up with you.
what a terrific valentines meal. That burger looked delicious.
I don’t think skiing with poor visibility is a good idea but that won’t stop you.
your invention was great. Did it work well?
Another busy week. Plowing through fresh snow up to Vista Butte, perfecting your jumps, relaxing in the sun in your own chair and eating Mountain Burgers. It doesn’t get better than that.
