Celebrate, Celebrate.......Dancin' to the Music

ONE HUNDRED SKI DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Friends of the Mountain & Mountain Friends (On the slopes gang)....
Yes, one hundred glorious (injury free) days skiing.  Bob, despite his injuries, celebrates day # 61.
Everyone gathered at the base to celebrate my goal.

It wasn't official until my pass was scanned, jumped on the lift and skied down, "Show Off" back to the base.  This is just the beginning.  Have we set the new standard for next season? 

Renee' with the keys to my new car...
We think so....We will both be well seasoned ski bums by the end of our adventure.  We'll need to graduate with our "ski bum" degree.  There is still work to be done.  Practise, Practise and more Practise.  The hair is growing.  Bob is almost ready for a pony tail! The skier's tan is darkening despite all the sunscreen. 
The grocery bill is rising as each day passes by.  We have skied so much, it is easier to slide down the mountain than it is to walk on a flat surface these days. 

It is now spring with record snowfall.  Each day we ski we awake to new conditions, cool mornings, warm afternoons and every changing snow.  We have winter conditions at the summit.  As we traverse down the mountain, it become spring and we feel the warmth as the temperature quickly rises as we decent.  The patio is crowded with smiles and jugs of beer and music.

 I was presented the keys to my new "Snowy White Porche" by Renee' & Sharna, who designed this limited edition of the winter car to my specifications.
How do you like my new Porche?
And, it is a convertible!  New skis and now a new Snow White Car.  Or is it a Snow Car?
Thanks Everyone.

It will be Bob's turn next year.  He will also see 100 days of skiing. 
 



Sharna out for a test drive



After our morning celebration, we skied until our bellies growled for lunch.  Another celebration with our good friends Frank, Nan and their family at the T Bar for a great lunch.

Back to skiing.....

Tomorrow, we will have a day off.  These legs are tired.  (and we need more food....beer too!)



Celebrate, Celebrate,  Dancin' to the Music

Slippin' away, skiing on a pillow
Waitin' for snow to fall
A girl and a dream, skiing on a pillow
This is the night to go to the celebrity ball

Satin and lace, isn't it a pity
Didn't find time to call
Ready or not, gonna make it to the city
This is the night to go to the celebrity ball

Dress up tonight, why be lonely?
You'll stay at home and you'll be alone
So why be lonely?
Skiing' alone, skiing' on a pillow
Waitin' to climb the walls
Maybe tonight, depending how your dream goes
She'll open her eyes when she goes to the celebrity ball

Dress up tonight, why be lonely?
You'll stay at home and you'll be alone
So why be lonely?
Celebrate, celebrate, dance to the music
Celebrate, celebrate, dance to the music
