Thinking back

Last night I had dinner with two of my friends one whom I've been friends with since we were 10 or so.  She and I have an interesting history. Last night after dinner and an asshole move by the guy that was with us we ended up having ice cream on the deck of the place that we met 12 years ago. 2 am sitting on the deck looking at the stars talking about how nothing ended up the way anyone thought it would.  Single changes in decisions that we made what affect would they have on us now? Would it matter or would we have ended up in the same place?

Our Group in 2007 at Pico.

I haven't told many people this yet but I've decided it's time for me to move on since some of our friends won't.  This is my last season skiing at Killington. I have spent the last 15 years of my life skiing Killington, loving the club and my friends that I met in the program I now coach. 15 years is a LONG time!!! The sunrise services, the egg hunts, singing on the snowdon triple, the way everyone dated everyone, the crazy sledding runs at Rory's house, ice skating at the Grist Mill pond for hours, walking to Pizza Jerks.  The amazing memories of getting chased by the snowcat out of the half pipe while sledding in it on food trays, handing out Join Bode t-shirts. I will miss it all, the people who watched me grow up, the kids I have coached but I will always have the memories.
