dear diary.

I am moving on. and it feels fantastic. on Friday I removed Black Lab’s emails from my email account and I am relieved by the freedom of not having to deal with any of Paul’s junk anymore. I am not saying that in a negative way, like there was anything really wrong with him or his junk. I am saying it in a way that I am relieved to be moving on and focusing on things that will actually make me money and allow me to develop and continue living my own dreams.

on another note. it is spring. spring has sprung, that time has begun. to me, the skiing season is just well under way. I live in a place now where I feel like I am not at a constant frenzy to get the pow. I ski a lot, but probably not enough. I look forward to spring, look forward to the lifts shutting down and being able to ski in 80 degree weather. spring and summer skiing by far is my favorite. intense raccoon face with an awful tank top tan, here we go!

Saturday I felt lazy and didn’t even get to the hill until 11. Ben and I kicked it up to Saddle Peak right off the bat. as I was hiking up, I was chuckling to myself at the thought that this really is my lazy saturday, I would go backcountry if Moose wasn’t still recovering from his injury. damn dog! I am not nearly as gun-ho as I was couple years ago, but I still get out a fair amount. and it’s always just about as exciting. James, Ben and I spent sunday skinning around in Bradley’s. we had a fantastic powder filled day in the sunshine and kept scoping out more lines in the bridgers. I loved being out there with James, relaxing in the sunshine.

there’s something about this time of the year, that while it makes me run out and try to scope out every peak to ski, it’s also my relaxed time. gone are the blizzards and survival modes in the mountains, and here are sunny moments, muddy boots, skiing in skirts and not being in a hurry. no one is stealing your powder and you have the whole loooong day to ski it!
