Woke up sore, but energized and excited about the day. We drove up a mountain to an observatory/cafe to chill and start the day off with a fantastic view of the mountains and surrounding valleys. There was fog in some areas, but in the kind of way that adds to the landscape....the mountains looked like they were playing a game of hide and seek.
Next, we headed to a salmon farm and got to feed the salmon annnnnnd enjoy some fresh salmon sashimi.
This experience was interesting enough that everyone in our tour group had decided to get some salmon and cook it for dinner.
After freezing our asses off at the fish farm, we headed back into the bus and hurried to Ohau resort.
Note: It's seriously tailored for the serious Backcountry addict. There's only one main lift and you pretty much have to hike everywhere else.
Speaking of hiking...KT and I hiked to the top of the main mountain. It was way steeper and a higher drop off than we had expected. We literally sat there for over 20 minutes just staring at the terrain and hoping someone would go ahead of us to "show us how it's done."
After contemplating major parts of my eulogy and what type of flowers I wanted at my funeral, I hesitantly followed KT down the mountain...
Possibly one of the most frightening and exhilarating experiences of my life!
Thankfully, I did not crash and burn into a pile of rocks (the snow was thin/icy and rocks were everywhere).
A few more runs later, it was time to leave the ski hill and head to the hotel.
