Where Am I?

2024 Opening Day at WH2O

I like to geek out while having real experiences. I maintain an extensive GPS database from my hikes, bikes, runs, and skis dating back to 2008. Feel free to follow the georss feed, explore the map above or download the GPS tracks below.

I had Friday off as a flex day so I wanted to go up to WH2O with Amber. Sadly, Amber through a multi-hour hanger fit, because I wouldn't let her have ice cream for breakfast. After *finally* getting some yogurt in her, I was able to get her to the hill. But at that point I was so brain fried, that I forgot my wallet (and left the snacks in the car), so couldn't get her fed after the 2nd run. The parking lots were all full by 10:30, so we had to park all the way back in the EV changing (yay that they have it!), but there was no way that we had time to do more than 2 runs with the long trek at 6-year old speed. Luckily, for the time that we *were* there, we had a lovely, positive bonding time skiing together. The snow was crusty at the top of Raven, but nice and soft in the sheltered terrain. Amber did great, but we need to get her new ski boots. She melted down after taking off her boots (they must have been cutting off her circulation). A shake-out day. Glad we figured a few things out.
