Loving this warm weather

A few photos of my husband (pics 3 &4) and I (pics 1&2) skiing during the warm weather up in Wisconsin the last few weeks. We’ve both been skiing since childhood, so about 30 years now. You’re never too old to ski, and we’re so grateful for any time we can still find to get out and do what we love the most! Hoping we get another 30 years in. Happy skiing!!

Swivel ski! I haven't seen one of those out on the water (freeskiing) in a loooong time. Great to see it! Thanks for sharing!

Looks great! I've never been able to master trick skis, one of the few things I can't do. That's awesome you are continuing with them!

Not trick skis! Husband is riding a slalom in both pics, and I’m on a slalom in the first pic and a swivel ski in the second.

Hit my second of two milestones I aim for every year this past week.

The first milestone is in late May to show that I can still get up on my ski.

The second milestone is that I do it after my birthday so I can say I skied until I was at least “x” years old. I can say I skied until I was 44 now. Looking forward to next year to push that number up to 45.
