We had our first ski trip of the winter this past We had our first ski trip of the winter this past weekend and it was AWESOME! We drove about an hour and a half west to @snowmass and had a real getaway. Leading up to it, it was so nice to have something fun to look forward too. #hosted

We stayed at a really fun hotel @limelighthotel & took in holiday light displays, ice sculptures, played at the coolest game room. We had wonderful meals. We skied on wide open snow covered mountains, soared down an alpine coaster. Warmed up in the biggest hot tub. And, mostly enjoyed time as a family.
.
.

Family ski vacations can be challenging. Schlepping gear, new boots hurting feet. But staying in Snowmass Village it really was all so easy. 
.
.
.
Also, I have to note that 99.9% of people were wearing their masks everywhere. The lifties were on it. Asking everyone not just to be sure they were wearing masks but wearing them correctly. We felt as safe as we could have during these crazy times.

Thanks to @aspensnowmass and @snowmass for a wonderful weekend feeling like we escaped it all.

Vail Mountain opened today. This ski season will l Vail Mountain opened today. This ski season will look like no other. But it is these wide open spaces that are likely to get us through winter with our physical and mental health intact.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about our front line workers. Health care workers, grocery clerks, servers in restaurants and now lifties and those working in the ticket offices, ski rental shops and front desk of the hotels. I hope that we can show grace this winter to all.

My daughter and I don’t get to volunteer this weekend putting together Thanksgiving baskets. So how can we give back? I am thinking we’ll drop homemade goodies off on friends front porches just to spread a little joy. And anything else we can think of as the winter proceeds. Right now everyone needs a little joy, and grace. I think I’ll soon be writing about grace.

Happy weekend to you all. I hope that you have some joy, spread some joy and most of all give grace to others, and yourself.

I have been quiet over here the past couple of wee I have been quiet over here the past couple of weeks. There’s been too much to think about. As I’ve been pondering quietly, my home state somehow transitioned from fall to winter. I will admit that summer is my favorite time of year. But, well, winter is stunning. I’ve been figuring out how we can stay outside as much as possible this winter. Stay tuned for some fun cold, snowy weather outdoor ideas coming here soon!

Today this special place narrowly missed burning down a second time in its long history of special moments in peoples lives. It is not completely out of the woods yet. But I am keeping our friends, just a county over, in my thoughts tonight as another wildfire ravages our beautiful mountains.
