a yurt, lodge, hut, or chalet trips booked w/ skiing as a focus, but there much more
no sense in worrying about conditions yet no need to rough it.
we like to roll unguided and uncatered
there are meals to cook
saunas to be stokeified
tunes to jam
powdery substances banned by certain athletic orgs that may or may not enhance performances ingested
selfies don't take themselves
there are stability assessment and terrain choices to be made
threw down the lectric coolaid acid test
sunsets to be savored and cocktail ice to be harvested
gear to fix
just desserts to be rolled stuffed and baked and whip creamed 2 b consumed
there were fruits of others vocational labors to be read
fuck yeah dr
shitter wall shenanigans
and some skill sharpening of serious consequences
sage don't do dish pit duties in the backseat dawg
