I had to bump this thread for the Trip Report from my ski day with this micro diva
Being the skiing addict that I am, I booked my plane ticket for ESA Stowe, allowing a few extra days to ski at the conclusion of ESA activities.
I was promised an outing with Epics oldest daughter, which I was assuming would be a "cool down" outing after some days of hard skiing, which Rapid(the only other Bear still around) agreed would be a nice way to end our 5 days of skiing.
We were in for a surprise!!!
Getting boots on and gear rounded up was, what I would consider typical of a family, so Rapid and I chilled out and visited for a bit, as we kept hearing a little voice telling her mom and dad. "Lets go!"
Epic, and Mrs Epic, just smiled and kept putting gear on. Rapid and I kept chatting with the Micro Diva, who was eager to entertain.
Out of the lodge and on the snow, it was clear that MicroDiva knew her gear and her mountain.
She immediately informed us that we were going to the Spruce Double and She was Riding the Chair with Tricia!
On the chair ride she told me how her little sister(who was in Cubs Day Care) was going to be skiing soon, and how much she likes her horses, but mostly she just wanted to ski! It was time to raise the safety bar, and she told me so!!!
Once we got off the lift, I assumed we'd wait for Epic, Mrs Epic and Rapid. Not so!
The little voice said "Lets go!"
I'll let rapid fill in the blanks here, but I think he had a hard time catching us.
MicroDiva went through the gates set up on hill, and waved at a few folks on the lift who smiled and waved back.
At the bottom, I suggested we wait for mom and dad. Not gonna happen........Lets go!
So we went.
After the second pass on the same hill, I again suggested that we wait for mom and dad. This time she said okay. Upon the arrival of Epic and Mrs Epic at the bottom, I found out why we were waiting this time.
Little voice said, "Dad, I want a sticky fish and then we can go on that chair" (pointing to the Adventure Triple)
One trip there and we went to the Sunny Spruce Quad, where we finished the day.
Theme of the day.........Lets go!
I'd like to thank the Micro Diva for the tour of her mountain, and for sharing her sticky fish.
Mrs Epic and Epic, thank you so much for the wonderful meal in your home on Monday night. I really need to get the recipe for that Chicken!!

If you were going to do a day in the life of a skiing family, this is it!!
Biggest regret from the day, I had moisture in my camera from the powder days previous, so it wouldn't work outside in the cold, and my pictures in the lodge were marginal.
Here's the one and only pic I was able to salvage of the family getting ready. Is this the face of a patient MicroDiva?
