Sunshine, Blue skies, and powder is all it takes to put a smile on this face...
Fire and Ice of Lone Pine...One of my favorite memories with Jocie and Sid..
Oh such luscious pow pow!!
Why hello!
Good morning Missy!
This fella definitely added some color to those cheeks...
Take it all in...that first big breath before you plunge down the mountain.
Me, Sid, and Missy getting ready to ski some Beav backside!
Skiing on Friday was an awesome day. It was our first time skiing with Scott since that awful day in March. As you can see it's not just us three in the picture. Jocie is there. Not just to the side of me at the memorial but in the sunshine, the brilliant blue sky, the wonderful powder surrounding us and in our hearts. Her laughter echoes in my head and heart as I move through the powder.
Not a day goes by that I don't think about her and what she has taught me about life. I believe with my whole heart that Friday was such a wonderful day because Jocie was there skiing right next to us.
As I look at the backside of Beaver and soak it all in I feel peace all around me. This is part of my backyard that has many memories that hold the laughter of three young girls skiing like there is no tomorrow. A blond, redhead, and brunette filled the silence with gut busting laughter and smiles.
And at the end of the day when my arms are ready to give out from pushing out of Spring Road back to Little Beav, I can't help the giddy feeling for next Saturday to come so we can ski some more. Someone once told me "Go Big or Go Home" and I hope to live by that for as long as I'm alive.
I have no doubt that Jocie was right beside you with every deep powder turn, every giggle, and every face shot. Tears are streaming down my face at the thought of you three so close to her...soaking up her spirit. I KNOW she is so proud of all of you and your triumph in living life and always going BIG!
