Snow is Falling
Snow has been falling in the high country off and on for the past few weeks and Denver finally got our first winter storm warning. Rain to turn in to snow Tuesday night. Which means fresh snow on Thursday for Season 3-Day 1!!
As it is finally snow season a lot of things have been ramping up in preparation. Work has definitely gotten busier, with phone calls, orders, emails, and just the general everything. Since our Meetings lady retired in June my boss and I have taken over the events for the season. Task #1 was prepping and executing Team Training. There will be more about that later this week since it’s a whole week-long and the best day is Thursday. I did go up to Copper Mountain this weekend to help with check-in, opening day meetings, and the team dinner. I got up to the lift this morning (but didn’t get on the hill) and they were blowing snow at the base. It’s amazing to see that happen at this time, especially since last year the season started so late (in comparison).
The other cool thing with Team Training is that events is something I’m interested in at work. Getting to assist with the planning and execution of this is going to be a great learning experience. Hopefully this will continue with all the events we do this season.
When I got back from Copper I met one of my new Junior League friends at Ski&Golf to outfit her for the season. She’d picked up a board/boot/bindings on the super cheap and needed the jacket & pants to go with it. She’s from Florida so I felt her pain when looking at everything and just getting overwhelmed. Luckily we were able to get her in to some really awesome Bonfire pants & jacket, base layers, and a nice pair of Hestra gloves. Shopping with her also taught me that I can sell gear because I sound like I know what I’m talking about. Just imagine if my job was to learn about all the DWR and jacket features. I’d be unstoppable! Not a bad idea actually…
And after talking in to all that gear I’ve guaranteed myself a snowboard buddy for the season. Not that I couldn’t find anyone, but having a guarantee is always nice.
So that’s a really quick update of my life (okay, this weekend). I promise I’ll attempt to write more going forward, I’ve got some cool stuff coming up. The end of Team Training, the Denver Film Festival, early ski/snowboard season, Junior League functions, volunteer opportunities, Thanksgiving & Christmas trips home, M&D’s vacation up here, and hopefully a ticket to the last UT/A&M football game (cross you fingers).
I keep looking at my calendar and I’m finding myself having to carve out time just to stay at home and do laundry. Not a horrible problem to have, but I do enjoy my down time. Speaking of, it’s about time I head to bed and try to get some sleep.
