Since the birth of our first child, Emma and I have not done a lot other than figure o
ut parenthood. We will have to get back to you on that one, which I think will not be anytime soon. Every day is new and exciting and parenthood is something that evolves. We will evolve with Sapphire and learn as we go. Sapphie turned 5 weeks this Friday and we have been pretty much home bound.
It was time to get out of Burlington and do our first “mini trip”. Emma, Sapphie and I headed out Wednesday afternoon in the season’s first big snowstorm to Sugarbush, our ski home away from home. We safely arrived to meet up with our good friends Brian and Christina and their three children for a 4 day “mini vacation” and test run for upcoming trips. We picked a great time to head to the mountain with 20 inches of fresh POW on its way plus we had some fun things planned. My ski season has been on hold since December 26th at 10 am but I was ready to break out of that drought with a four day ski weekend and a Snow Cat tour first thing Thursday morning, which meant first tracks for Brian and I on 20 inches of POWder. Not a bad way to dust off the cob webs.
Brian and I arrived before dawn at the base of the mountain and were greeted by the Sugarbush Limo, a 12 person snow cat. This was going to be our ride up the mountain for the next two hours. We had the mountain all to ourselves, with the exception of 10 other people from Sugarbush, until the first chair spun at 9 am. That meant we could paint the canvas, which was the untouched snow, for two hours all by ourselves. It gave us the big mountain feel of the West right here in Warren, VT. We rode the mountain like we owned it. We took some great runs and got some nice video and pictures to document the morning. Seeing the sunrise from 4000 feet was a pretty cool experience. The cob webs are dusted off, and I cannot wait until Sapphire is on my heels following my every turn. She is going to be a mogul maniac and a backcountry rockstar like her daddy.
