Nothing beats a lazy Sunday morning. While enjoying our footials, and just before heading out to ski, Sleepless received a text from Progressive saying he had more free ski tickets for us to use. We immediately started texting friends and continually received this immediate response, “You ski?” Yes, we ski. Luckily, One And Done and Thermostat didn’t ask questions, rather, just responded that they were on their way.
Before we even hit the slopes we could tell it might be chilly out – all we had to do was look at Thermostat’s tank top. Even though the temperature appeared to warm up every now and again, a jacket was advised – especially for Thermostat.
Although One and Done and Thermostat opted to experience other trails, Sleepless, Little Sleep and I stayed on First Time the entire time. While riding up First Time for the third or fourth time (for the record, the resort crew thought we were certified ski school instructors), Sleepless and I were discussing difficulty levels and the color system. “I don’t see color,” I told her. “Well, you might want to see color here,” she responded and added, “You really don’t want to end up on a double black diamond.”
Sleepless was right and, because I’m environmentally friendly, I stuck with the Green trail. After skiing, we attempted to pay for the rental of Little Sleep’s skis. The sales associate quoted one price, but after some persuading, we paid a slightly lower price.
A few minutes after that, while waiting for the others to use the loo, Sleepless and I saw a $2 kamakazi special – sold! After this, we headed to dinner. We made our menu selections within no time and then waited. And waited. Somehow, our order hadn’t made it to the kitchen right away, so,we received a discount and free dessert. “I can’t believe all the great deals today,” said One And Done, “Free skiing, discounted rentals, and now a discounted meal.” “It’s official,” I replied, “Today is Dealdo Sunday!” “Year of the rabbit,” Sleepless added.
