The biggest concern was that I had forgotten how to ski. Skis have morphed into a parabolic shape which requires a new technique everyone told me. My legs might not hold up to a full day on the slopes schussing through powder snow.
Much to my amazement, it was wonderful. Skiing is like riding a bike - the skill remains buried in the back of the brain. Parabolic skis do not require any special skill - they might even make the skiing a bit easier. The legs did superbly well - I'm not even stiff. Guess those squats paid off.
It was absolutely heaven to get out of the city and focus on recreational physical activity rather than the daily mental turmoil of the business world.
On the way home we stopped in Banff at the world famous Banff Springs Hotel (the castle in the Rockies) to skate on a frozen pond beside the Bow River with the little granddaughters. The sun shone, the snow sparkled, the weather was lovely and we just had fun.
I did spend some of my evening time doing some vacation reading. That's a must. I brought a paperback book that was on its last chapter and I brought my Kobo which is more pleasant to read than I had anticipated.
The weekend was perfect.
