What A Season I Love Skiing


As the season ends, I look back on the winter with a huge smile. We had an enormous amount of snow and I was able to share my love and passion for skiing with so many people.

The Social Ski Group for members was a huge success. Our Monday expert group enjoyed exploring the deep powder stashes, tree skiing, and increasingly smaller airs... Andy Chambers, ex World Cup Racer, joined us on many Mondays and blessed us with stories, great company, and tips. What a true joy to watch someone ski so beautifully. His expertise and fluidity are amazing to watch.

The Wednesday intermediate group, which was consistently much bigger than the Monday group, was an incredible amount of fun. We challenged our skills in glades and powder. I watched skiers progress and gain confidence. Many of these skiers are ready for the expert group next year.

As always, the end of ski season is bittersweet for me. I look ahead to my mountain bike and my trail shoes, but skiing is my true love. With the warmer weather comes the influx of members and my busy season at 3 Creek. Longer days, twilight golf rounds and evening runs on the path await.

Until next year JHMR...
