Hi Ladies!
Has anyone else had a season that wasn’t great and it killed your enthusiasm? This is my fifth season and up until this year I have always wanted to get out there early and go all day all the time. Weather conditions didn’t scare me. We are in the mountains every weekend but this year I am feeling like the drive, the crowds, traffic are getting me down. It took a while for our mountains to get good snow coverage here in CO this year so I purposely just let my husband bring our competitive snowboarder up and I stayed home early on. I finally really got going right after Christmas and fell and injured my knee/leg. Took a couple weeks off and have been easing back in however I also had days over the past few weekends where I woke up with a migraine, a GI bug and last weekend stayed home with my youngest who was sick. The powder days seems to keep happening during the week when we have to work and be at home. Our snowboarder is 18 now and other than getting her up here, she doesn’t need us to get her here and there as much as she takes buses, gets rides from teammates. In other words I don’t have to be up and out on the mountain by 8:45 as much. I find myself dropping her off at skier drop off in my jammies when I do give her a ride and then tell myself I will ski after lunch but then it gets windy, colder or I lose all motivation. My husband does his own thing most of the time because he skis way better than me and I have no desire to hit back bowls and waist deep powder like he does. My youngest could sit inside all day if we let her so usually I am the one pepping her up to get out there. I just don’t have the pep this year. The longer it goes on the worse it is! I just got my mountain bike back from the shop all tuned and shocks serviced and I am about to stay home on nice weekends and ride instead. I think I need a girls’ ski weekend (and not my daughters when I say girls) or something. Anyone gotten over this hump?
