Will Ski
When not skiing in Italy or France, Aaron and I stash pb&j sandwiches in our pockets. The aim of our ski morning then becomes to not fall and squish the guts out of our sandwiches into our pockets. The joy of the pb&j is that if you happen to come across a beautiful spot on the mountain, and it happens to be lunch-ish-time, you can plop yourself down then and there to munch. Of course, this option is only realistic when the wind isn’t blistering your face, and the overlap between the time period when the wind isn’t blistering your face + the time period when there is sufficient snow to ski = the last two weeks of May.
Arapahoe Basin is the last ski resort in Colorado to close down for summer, due to its high elevation and pride. The conditions aren’t great for ‘real’ skiing, so it’s kind of just a party — plenty of chicks in bikinis, one guy wore a banana suit, a bunch of dudes spent the day practicing their backflips off a jump.
