Winter Wonderland

I woke up and winter is back! I am sooo excited! It makes it a lot easier when you work for a helicopter ski company... Even better, I woke up in Albreda, looking at the lodge from my bedroom in the staff accommodation. I am visiting Crosby, who is working here this week. Today and tomorrow are my days off, and he also gets tomorrow off. Lucky us. Since he got back from Mexico a little over a week ago I haven't really had a chance to get to hang out with him, so Crosby offered I could come up here for the night, wait for him to be done with work, and go back to Blue River together. It almost didn't work out, but thankfully in the end I ended up here. Like being on a holiday!

I haven't blogged in a while, so here is in short what happened: Valentine's Day was really nice. (This day sure is a lot nicer when you have a boyfriend, hahaha!) Crosby went to Mazatlan in Mexico to attend his brother Bryce's wedding to Becky. Unfortunately I couldn't attend, I could not get the week off. I guess that is what seasonal work does to you, but that in combination with the border officer last time warning me not to cross the borders anymore until I have a permanent status left me in Blue River. The photos of the wedding are beautiful and a photo of Crosby in the top of a palm tree tell me I missed a lot of good stuff.

The last few months have been relatively warm, and the stability of snow only had a short period of good ratings. At the moment the stability is super-poor. Slopes of moderate degree even have slides on them now. Unfortunately causing fatalities (not at work).

I haven't been snowboarding lately, but I did start to run again. It feels good to get back on track, summer will be coming soon! I should also get back on the Yoga-train as my flexibility is non-existing at the moment. I am also thinking about the short term and long term goals for my life. So many options, so many dreams, what do I make of it? :)
