Season 24-25: Day 16

We didn’t hit the terrain yesterday because it was raining hard all day. We went shopping instead. I bought a new ski jacket and two pairs of Adidas shoes. The kids also made dinner for us. We had fried chicken and ratatouille.

Today, the rain stopped. I headed out early to catch the first chair at 8:30 am. I snowboarded four runs and headed back home around 10:00 am. The older kids didn’t get up yet. I suspected they were on their digital devices until the wee hours. We didn’t get to Attitash until noon. I got tired of trying to get them up early. They cared about their digital devices more than all the money we spent on a ski trip. As long as I got my runs for the day, I didn’t bother trying to get them out early.

I took Vương and his cousin on the black slope. He did well, except for the steep slope. It was all icy. He almost made it to the bottom, but he slipped out, which was fine. He flipped the fuck out. He screamed and cussed at me, “I hate you, motherfucker.” I wondered where he learned it from. YouTube of course. I popped out skis and asked him to strap back on so we could go down, but he continued to cuss me out. I called the patrol and we waited. The patrol asked him to strap in and ski down. Vương did what the patrol told him.

He was done for the day. I went on to ski myself. I hit both Attitash Peak and Bear Peak. The conditions were icy and the slopes had bare cover. I didn’t fall at all. I must admit. I ski better than snowboard. I had better balance.

It was a good day. Tomorrow will be our last day at Attitash.
