Skiing

One of the many perks of living in Bellingham is having Mt. Baker an hour and a half away. In the summer and fall it means epic hiking. In the winter and spring it has meant not much… until this year! Asa grew up skiing and I knew it was only a matter of time that I would learn. After much research and many conversations, I acquired a mostly-used ski set up and was ready to hit the slopes.

Following the advice of EVERYONE, I took a class and easily mastered the tow rope. I’ve moved on to chair 2, the beginner chair, which I must say has quite the downhill run just to get to. Asa has been super patient with me and has stood by as I slam into snow banks on purpose to stop myself, miss routes we planned on taking, and ever so slowly inch my way down that hill to chair 2 to master my control and turns.
