We headed to Aspen this weekend for another Smartwool race. One GS and one slalom at the Highlands. Stella has had a bit of a hard time finishing this season (I've definitely been there) and the GS on Saturday was no different. Not for a lack of trying, she's been working on getting across that finish line but the 4th to last gate proved to be the end of her day. Full on yard sale, tangled in the gate, a bruised hip and ego. I gotta give it to the girl though, even through the tears there were smiles and the fire to do it better next time!!! On to today.....Stella has yet to finish a slalom this season but TODAY was her day! No more starting with 990 points. Whew!! First run she started third from last and definitely attacked from the back. Whether or not she finished today I am one proud mama but I will say.......I am happy for the kiddo!!! Wooooooooo!!!!!
10 pairs of skis, 5 boot bags, 5 pairs of poles, 5 girls, 2 adults and one PACKED Tahoe!!! GO TBK!

Have to give a shout out to my Mollie, my BBF (yes even in my late 30's I have a BBF and will until the day I die) she blew her knee out two weeks ago when they were out here visiting us. A beautiful bluebird day in Vail, front side groomers on our last run of the day heading to Pepi's for some beer and strudel. She is one tough cookie! After packing it in, she picked herself up, skied down, had that strudel and beer and still had this smile on her face. Sending her LOTS of love, light, a swift surgery and lots of healing vibes!!! xoxo
Love and Gratitude!
