Offski

Sunday morning and Loren from next door hasn’t been to bed yet. I managed to escape at closing time. He bangs on the door at 11 and demands to be taken to the slopes. We’ve got a day off so we drive him and his buddy Jeff up there. When we’ve finished skiing/boarding we bring back two very different people. They sleep most of the way home.

Terry Peak is amazing. Josh flies down with the greatest of ease but this is only my fourth time. By the end he has switched to a board and i’m making the turns. It’s a fun day. There are loads of young parents on the slopes encouraging their progeny: “Good Job! Awesome Britney/Billy-Bob/Shayna, you can do it!”. With that amount of positivity pumped in to them from an early age its no wonder there’s so little cynicism in these hills. It’s nice to watch.
