Bring on winter! Colorado has already received an unprecedented amount of snow and I went snowshoeing on Friday.
Well, “snowshoeing” is a bit of a misnomer. More like I carried my snowshoes to the top of Dinosaur Ridge to find deep powder, got lazy about putting them on and ended up just hiking through it.
But my snowshoes were present in the process, which still counts as snowshoeing, right?
I’m skiing Breckenridge today (and yes, skis will be firmly attached). Ski destinations this winter will include Park City Mountain Resort (where I am one of their official “Snowmamas“), Loveland, Aspen/Snowmass, Durango Mountain Resort and possibly Keystone.
After a long ski drought of pregnancies, childbirth and babies, this mama is back in the saddle.
Or rather, the chairlift!
We’ll just have to remember to put skis on him, too.

Confused, I looked around until I spotted the focus of her attention. There, on the Frosted Flake box, was my smiling face.
OK, so maybe it was Lindsey Jacobellis’ but the resemblance was uncanny.
Haddie grabbed the box, yelled “Mommy” again and then her focus turned to Tony the Tiger. Still mesmerized, Haddie queried “Tigger?” as if to say, “How could you not tell me you knew Tigger?”
Just think how impressed the kid will be if I win my own Olympic bid and blog from the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games.
Note: Tigger not included.
