Snow departs

So winter is at an end. Spring is here just today. Skis prepped and stored, poles rest, boots nestled into their summer slumber. A pile of ski clothes lays aside for cleaning as time permits as there is no hurry to be "ready". A season of my illness 21 days down without skiing, opportunities missed, turns not taken. However it was a good season full of new things with adaptive skiing: chasing Dave down a slope trying in vain to keep the tethers loose. Teaching Dan pole touches, asking Scott if he wanted to guide ME as the fog was so thick that sight was of little use. Watching Kirk fight his personal dragons with gusto and verve. Seeing Nancy and Dick 'get it' about Adaptive skiing.
