Last trip of season (sniff sniff)

Going out Easter weekend for one final hurrah. Driving to Breck with hubs and kids. Of course I don't get as many runs in when we bring the kids, but I'm going to try to be in the moment with my skiing when I have the chance. I will also try to treasure this last trip, since life has ups and downs and you don't know what lies in store for next year.
 
I had a lot of grief because our season here in the NE ended so abruptly :( It went from, like, insanely good skiing to full-on spring slush conditions in a week, fairly early, and so all my plans just got kind of dashed. We had skied well into March last year but March over this way was pretty rough. I had thought about making an April trip up to Jay which to be fair does still seem worth a trip, but we are all just so out of the "headspace" at this point that I couldn't really muster it together. And my older kid has finally transitioned to being happy with spring soccer so I don't want to go for one last hurrah and undo all the hard work coping, hahaha. But I'm feeling a lot of sadness at the thought of returning the kids' rental skis :(
 
Enjoy your Easter last hurrah, @ChilliHeeler! I am hoping I might get a final few hours on a piste Easter long weekend, but that's all it would be. Although I did have a wonderful time going for the L1 exam at the end of March - I didn't pass, but I skiid my butt off and learned so much and we had some glorious snow. I was so exhausted and finished on such a high that I felt like it was the perfect end to this season, during which I truly fell in love with skiing! My daughter also learned to ski this season, so I look forward to spending more time with her on the pistes next winter. I hear you @Amplify on the sadness of returning the kids rentals! But it's time to hang my own skis up with a smile until next season!
