Ladies Day at Whitewater Ski Resort

My co-workers and I had been talking about ditching work in favour of a ski day for years. Not just any ski day, but the Whitewater Ladies Day. As these things often go, we never seemed to find a good day to be out of the office all at the same time. This past February Janeen finally forced us to commit. The following week, Tammy, Janeen and I were geared up and heading to the hill.

After checking in we were put into smaller groups based on our experience. They kept us three together and added another partner in crime - an awesome lady from Tasmania of all places! Our instructor was Howie. Although we were serious about our lessons, we were in it for a good time. We definitely drove Howie crazy, but he managed to teach each of us better form and technique in between all the giggling.

After the lesson we all met up at Coal Oil Johnny's for an award-winning lunch and a beverage of choice. Another thing I learned that day is that whiskey belongs in coffee. Who knew?!

At the end of the day all three of us were inspired to leave the office more often, upgrade our gear and, most importantly, do more skiing. We were friends before this day, but this experience brought our friendship to a whole new level.

When we finally made it down the hill and to the hitching post, Tammy found the inside of her car was identical to the outside; she had left her window wide open and it DUMPED that day! One final laugh - a perfect way to end an epic day.
