Squaw day today. We had fun with Matt finding the unskied powder left at Squaw which there was quite a bit on the lower part of the mountain.
What a fun lunch down at the KT base bar. The sun was out. Great music. Lovely morning of skiing. Riley left ski team to meet up with us as well. We bring lunch but we ordered an tasty plate of curly fries. All was well with the world.
We skied headwall in the afternoon because Callie was doing a freestyle competition. The day was running long so they bumped her to the next day. Instead, we skied a run with Callie and Blue. The girls knew Callie was good but man, she’s fast. The girls felt like they “were a baby making their first turn” skiing with Callie. We let Callie lead us down, but Edwin did have to tell Callie, “hey Callie, no cliffs ok” “oh, ok thanks for letting me know”. Ha, nice. Glad we made it down without having to drop off any cliffs.
Enough moguls for the afternoon and everyone was pooped so it was time to head down the mountain. “One more run” I had to say, “I want to do a speed run down Red Dog”. Edwin said he was done for the day, but girls came with me.
Here’s a PSA that apparently I never learned, well did actually learn, but was careless enough to do it anyway. DO NOT TAKE YOUR PHONE OUT ON THE RED DOG LIFT. No, but I had to text a friend and then took a selfie of the 3 of us going up the lift. Really I’m blaming it on Vera (just kidding) because she made a face and so I took another selfie and after I did…hand fumble…phone goes flying out of my hand. And I see it where it goes into the snow. Or at least I thought I did. Of course it was right under the lift in the super steep part right below the top of the lift. I sent the girls down to meet Edwin and tell him that I was going to ski down the face to try and find my phone.
I was convinced I knew where it fell, but no luck to be had. Too bad I didn’t drop my pole as a better marker.
So no pictures from the day. A shame really because I took great ones at lunch 🙁 … and on the red dog lift 😬 … double 🙁
I spent the evening bummed and worried that I had lost all of our road trip pics.
