虽然我们已经多日不见雪迹，暖风细雨正轻柔的向我们招手。雪迷还是一大早就出发了。😎
尽管一直在双黑上，可每次下来都要趟过一条雪河。靴外，一片湿雪；靴内，一片汗水。如此恶劣条件，雪迷还是坚持滑完了整场，伴晚归来。我想这就是雪迷精神！🌹
摘下仍然有效的季卡，雪迷终于痛苦的宣布收板了。突然庆幸雪迷原来也有无奈！😜
感谢上帝，赋予我们如此分明的四季交替！🌈
我似乎准备用一席丰盛的晚餐来安慰和庆祝这一悲喜交加的日子。可我们刚刚摆好酒杯，雪迷言到：今年收板比以往早了一两个星期。今天买好了明年的季卡，争取明年早点上山吧！😳
雪迷的称号终究不是随便说说的，那就是永远对雪情有独钟，并且充满期待！🏂
好吧，no mater what, 为了雪季的稍早结束，干杯！🍷

在这春意盎然的周末，有人又把雪裤穿上了，临出门前我问了一句：这个家就这么没有吸引力吗？我听到的回答是：不行，我得去，是寂寞。啥？是季末！
我的小心脏还是扑腾了一下，这可比上次忽悠我的严重多了😳

So, if you want to make this family trip happen again, only appeal is not enough. Something interesting might have to add to the trip. Such as download the Trace Snow program to our phones😄.
If you don’t want to be so late, then the most family member’s favorite green onion pies with multi grain porridge must be ready before we woke up. Thanks buddy😛.
I don’t mind the good weather and nice snow, my only concern about is today will be our family’s last skiing trip for this season, so I have to make sure that no one will miss the snow after the last run. 💃
Because we have 2 families going together, so the skiing partners increased variable combinations. The 2 cute cousins took the leadership for their moms, led us travelled the most areas of the huge mountains.
We efficiently used our communication tools walkie talkies, so we always can locate each group’s trail.
It was fun and amazing to travel from BM South Base to the Central Base & the North Side. So the ski & snowboard became the most important and lovely transportation vehicle just like the car to the land and the boat to the sea. And at this time, kids are the leaders instead of the parents are the drivers.😄
Time goes pretty fast, after the break, I didn’t even feel that we already skied almost 6 hours, when the night ski lights were lighted up. Then I speeded up in order to ski more. 😳
It was always excited when travelling out. No piano, no violin practice. Eat as much as you can of all kinds of junk food. However, this biggest mountain in Ontario is getting bored for the 2 boys and their cousin. Everybody skied down 1 hour earlier than the agreement ending time except one person.
She was still busy skiing on her trail, she is getting more confident, fast and enjoyable. When her honeydew came to her, she almost reported him that she could ski another 2 hours until the resort closes. But when he watched her ski one round, he happily commented: good job, we can go home now. Well done! 😏
I would be super happy to hear this any time before. But seems not today. I kept looking back the trails and the mountain as walking to the cafeteria.
Being the last skier of the family to ski down from the mountain is not surprise to my family, it almost happened every single skiing trip in the past. As they said: it’s always very hard to convince her to go skiing, but once she touches the snow, it’s even harder to pull her out from the snow.😜
So I confused the 2 families members, actually I confused myself too, will I be the only one who miss the snow???😶
No, no matter what, I don’t want to miss you, BM. I will try my best to forget the miraculous skiing fun. Instead I will remember the risky, the cold and the costly. I would rather to visit you in the warm season and go hiking here, but only, I need the majority people to agree. 😕

—-写自老公
LD滑雪和我们绝大多数多伦多同雪不一样。滑的大山比小山多，外地雪场比本地雪场多，被动滑雪比主动多。滑雪有5，6年了，还在绿道上从左边Z到右边，从右边Z到左边，蜗牛似的速度，重心后座，拐弯雪板前端抬起。总之，平行拐弯还不会。每上一个山头，总要反复的问，有绿道下来没？
LD跟小儿子差不多同时开始滑雪，小儿子现在都能下双黑了。
我家滑雪 trip，LD有时滑，有时不滑。但她滑过科州，弗州，纽约州，BC省，魁省。基本都是绿道，有时被骗上简单蓝道，吓得要死。
多年前，LD在蓝山south base初学道的big baby上，摔了一跤。把下巴磕破了，当时她同事说，永远都会留下疤。LD气死，其实三，四个月后，疤痕就消失了。那天LD是买的discovery的票，在carpet旁的道学完后，我带她上初学缆车,下缆车后，在big baby道上，我还准备给她讲讲滑雪，还准备跟拍。没想到我相机还没准备好,她就直冲下去，根本不拐弯，我在后面都跟不上。终于冲到快到缆车底的那个稍微陡一点的坡，失控摔倒。
LD滑雪，没有热情，没有动力，对我们也不太支持。但我家多年的滑雪trip，最终都能成行，除了我死皮赖脸外，终究还是要感谢LD。人们都说，要LD支持滑雪，能把LD带上山就几乎成功了。我LD早就上山了，但离成功似乎遥遥无期。滑了5，6年还在绿道上晃悠，我早就不奢望成功了。
但上周六，我突然看到了转机。
上周六，本来计划一家去BM滑整天的，但因我上午有事,不可能一家一起滑整天,只好等下次了.改为我一人去滑夜场，但是car pool怎么也找不着。不能一人开车去呀，突然冒出个想法，拉LD一起去。但没抱什么希望，试试吧。
先跟我家两小子说了，两小子都同意他们单独在家，父母去滑雪。再跟LD说。我举例说老军医和他家LD每周六都去，并且从不car pool别人，我问老军医是不是太浪费车了，老军医说，不浪费，这是太太大人的专座。我跟LD讲，你也享受享受专座吧。LD似乎被说动了。但周五晚上说周六是我家老大的生日，肯定不能去。我心想,小子你哪天出生不好,非得是周六那天?
到了周六，我还不死心。又做LD工作，说BM雪况很好，温度不低，机会难得。儿子生日可以明天再过。对孩子要放手，让他们自己独立成长。最重要的是我们可以享受两人世界，浪漫一把。老大也说晚餐他带弟弟到外面吃。我觉得这很好。终于,LD被说服了。
周六，密市雪下很大，不长时间地面就积攒了5，6CM。我还有点担心。我决定早点去，1点半准时走。走时，我家老二从中文学校还没回来。
过了Brampton,雪不下了，路上也没有积雪。但雨刷器上很多冰。刷不干净玻璃。我决定停车清理雨刷器。就对LD说，我要找个地方停车清理一下。
我湖北人，普通话不好，LD听成“我要找个地方停车亲你一下”，停车了，LD才恍然大悟,这是现实,不是浪漫。
到了BM的South base，我先带LD到多年前她摔伤的big baby初学道。我还怕她有心理障碍。没想她轻松滑下来，还说，太简单了，终于报仇了。正所谓，君子报仇，五年不晚啦。
我心里一喜，趁机说带她上蓝道。她爽快答应。太阳从西边出来了。以前听说是蓝道，那是打死也不去。
先带她在401滑了一趟,她感觉很好.我还是决定带她上BM新开辟的最左边的那个山头。因为那里稍微简单点.之后,一直在那儿滑蓝道，我说最左边还有绿道，她不去，说已看不起绿道了。
回south base吃饭。碰到丁三夫妇，他们也是找不到car pool，于是享受两人世界， 把两孩子扔在家里。丁三那天从早9点滑倒晚10点。
吃完饭，我带LD满山转，尽管她滑得很慢，但蓝道已难不倒她了。我非常高兴，以后滑雪trip，会有更多的乐趣。特别是两孩子滑雪兴趣一年比一年小,今后滑雪,还得靠LD呀.
我们滑到last run。离开BM时，山上雪道上的灯都熄了。
吃饭时,LD联系孩子们，担心密市雪多，开车不安全，但老大没有带弟弟去外面吃饭,而是被他们的姨接到饭店吃饭了。LD彻底放心了。
回家时,LD问,我们今天滑雪,到底到山顶没?我说除了第一次,以后的每次都到顶了.LD又问,那每次怎么这么快就坐到山顶,又很快滑下来呢?LD是拿BM和我们以前滑的大山比,以前坐缆车时间长,滑下来时间更长.我又暗喜,看来我们有必要,有可能再来一次大山滑.
LD嫌回家的路太短,专车坐的时间不够。我说，那我们绕远路回家吧？
一家上BM滑整天的计划看来又得往后拖了。因本周六小小子的中文学校庆祝中国春节有表演。那么本周六能再忽悠LD一起去滑夜场吗？
LD爱写游记,以前我们的TRIP,她基本上都写,准备将来给孩子们看,所以用英文写.
这是去年圣诞节她写的蒙城TRIP的流水帐.我看英文一长就晕,看不下去.

当我还在紧锣密鼓的酝酿和筹备儿子生日时，就不停的收到领导铺天盖地的🏂邀请留言，关键词就两个：滑雪，浪漫😐。
本来这两个关键词都不赖，关键是非要安排在儿子生日这天，更要命的是二人行而非全家游😒，这不是无味的挑战吗😁.所以我的回复是即简洁又肯定。😕
我尽量以一颗平常❤️应付这突发事件。可其中一个关键词却频繁的激增，是我多年来不曾经历过的😳。我虽然表面平静，但最终还是没有抵制过这致命诱惑，成就了BM滑雪的初次二人之旅🏂
其实本人对🎿并不陌生，北美各大名山雪场滑了十几个，这安省之最BM也滑过几次😛。有朋友说BM好像你们家的大后院😜。虽然这大后院单程都需要开两个小时，可家有滑雪发烧友，这4个小时的风雪兼程从来就没被放在眼里😏。
我喜欢浪漫，这我承认。可咱命苦，经历奇缺😩。领导这次抓住了我这软肋，关键时刻果断出招，中了😃。
领导也不愧为雪场上的高手，邀请工作从雪场数据入手。
今天是本季最适宜滑雪的一天：气温-5～-10C，无风无雪,150cm average base, machine groomed powder,雪道全开。
虽然我的滑雪水平很需要良好的客观条件给力。可考虑到孩子们，我还是没有轻易被打动。所以在领导的深情告白后，我也亮出了我的王牌。
我没有说咱离不开孩子那种比较没出息的话，我是说孩子们不会高兴离开妈妈。领导的回复也是相当迅速的。他说在昨天与孩子打网球时已经沟通过了，两个孩子完全同意和支持😳。领导甚至还附加一条：孩子们大了，给他们自己的空间是必要的😏。不愧是领导啊，工作都做的如此深入细致了😕。
我也没有什么可拿得出手的挡箭牌了，知道毫无杀伤力，所以也就小声嘟囔了一句：我很累。领导对滑雪的定义却是：滑雪就是放松😏；那我还想整理一下报税的文件。领导说那可以用整个下周的时间来做，可错过了BM最理想的滑雪天气他可没有能力再找回来了😶。
那好，让我们踏上浪漫之旅吧，你以为我真的不想去吗😉？
我向来钟爱细雪绵绵，给繁忙的城市覆盖一层纯情和宁静。如果还能与一位你相识多年的帅哥同行，沿途感受，那一定会有点妙不可言😛。我甚至希望这飞雪能持续不停，或者这旅途能更长些😜。可半小时过后，一过Brampton, 一片晴天，道路畅通无阻。领导只好尽量保持在最低限速，并决定回程将抄远路，以期延长这醉人的驾驶时间😄.
一到雪场，见到雪友，还没上山，领导就露出了自豪的微笑；我就似乎有点腿发软，毕竟我还真没有上过BM顶峰，尽管比这山高几倍的我也登过几座😉。
领导从我多年前在South Base 摔过刻骨铭心一跤的Big Baby雪道开始。而我在缆车行进中自信就慢慢升起来了。等我顺利的滑下来，咱不想说藐视这条雪道，但我可以登得更高俯视它。几年后，我终于可以为我滑雪史上的唯一一次失守雪耻了😜。
领导当机立断带我奔向了两年前BM新扩展的山峰，希望雪道不会那么拥挤。几次之后，我已经完全适应了蓝道，绝不想念绿道，黑道还是处于无比恐惧和痛恨中😊。
领导接着又一鼓作气带我穿过一条优美的羊肠小道，来到了雪场Center。滑过了多少雪道，做过了几种缆车，我基本上滑下来就忘了，只记住了那条又宽又长被多伦多雪友命名的401。剩下的记忆就是天气好，雪更爽。
我不认为我的脚下技术水平有什么长进，只是突然发现滑雪时我学会了抬起头，看远处。也许这是因为我初次滑夜场，并且少了两个向导。所以为了害怕失散，我的眼里就只有远处那个滑单板的蓝色帅哥，又养眼，又放松🏂。
在我还没感觉累的时候晚餐开始了。咖啡厅里随便就可以遇上一众雪友。我很惊喜遇上了我比较熟悉的一对夫妇，他们同样也是把两个孩子留在家里享受二人滑，这更加深了我对滑雪二人行的认识☺️。
伴随着夜场的朦胧之美，我们毫无异义的滑完了雪场的 last run. 时间定格在午夜10点.
当领导在回家的路上递给我一杯浓郁飘香的咖啡，我突然感到我好像完全忘记了我来之前满怀期待的浪漫情结。而这一刻，让我想起了她的存在。简单朴素，在不经意间悄悄到来。😑
家离我们越来越近，我很好奇两个宝贝是怎么度过他们的二人世界。听说哥哥准备带弟弟到饭店解决晚餐。是中餐呢，还是西餐？So let’s find it out! 😐
花絮：
在一个有点温暖的冬天，空中飘落着一些慵懒而顽皮的雪花❄️似乎总是与浪漫有着不解之缘。在家中，望着窗外，你也许会怡然自得，浮想联翩😇；当你行驶在洁白宁静的路上，你的话题一般也会避开洗衣、做饭、擦地板。可能滑雪之类的话题就比较容易置情于景中😐。
大概过了半小时，领导好像有点心不在焉，左顾右盼地说：我得找个地方停下来，“亲你一下”。😳😳 天啊！这个想法也太疯狂了！为了这要停车？是真的吗？我脸肯定是红了，心跳也有点加速😊。心想如果今天不来滑雪，将是多么巨大的损失啊！二十年后，我嫁的人终于开窍了😳？我真的好兴奋啊😄！可还是故作镇定轻声说了句：不用特意停车吧？
领导说：不行，肯定得停！要不然雨刷器上的冰会越积越多，我得“清理一下”😳😧😧
我的天啊！这纯正的湖北口音，这雨刷器也太坑人了？我分明听的是“亲你一下”😩😩！你就笑吧，那我也笑，就连我们的车也跟我们一起大笑了起来😀😃😄
当你真的停下来，你认真的说了，我也仔细听了，可实在是太混淆了😖，只能凭我的自信心了😏。可你一把抓起雪铲，直接开门就出去了😦。Buddy, 你就不能趁机再混淆一下吗，情商就这么低吗？尴尬和失落中我认了，再过二十年你也变不了哪去😕！
Due to a super early 2015 BM Season Pass purchase on March of last year, so these season pass owners deserve 2 free Day/Night lift tickets @ BM until the end of January.
Due to the G4 & G5 Snow Pass benefit, those lucky G4 & G5 kids are free to ski 3 times at almost all the ski resorts in Canada. 😃😄
Due to the new trails added at BM, our family CSIA ski instructor hasn’t experienced the mountain face yet. 😗
Due to a ski friend who offered a precious Double Down tickets at great price. 😊
Due to the Junior tennis league was skipped this weekend. 😏
Due to the excellent ski weather (-4C to -6C). Why not continue the cold like yesterday @-17C😏
Suddenly so many free tickets come to us today at this cool weather 😁. It looks like the day will be in big trouble unless spending on the mountain . 😶
Manager already packed all the equipments in the car @ 7am. However people start to load in the car @ 9am.😕
I start to sing nicely and loudly immediately when our car moved, so no one hear any complaints. 😄
Even though our manager brought all my equipments, I still decided not to ski today. One reason, I try to balance our family ski emotional state; Other reason, BM is much smaller than most of the mountains that I have skied in the past.😜
But I didn’t presume that I can regret my decision so quickly. After few rounds, everyone start sending messages and telling me how good the snow and trails are, they consider this is the best skiing day for this season so far 😩. Don’t worry, the cafeteria is good too, nice and warm. Plus I can easily meet many Toronto skiing friends. 😊
Your pizza is ready! It’s your guys favourite time as I know, especially when we are complete just like the awesome whole pizza. And I believe this is also the main idea that your guys want me to be with you😋.
Buddy, I do understand that you had fantastic time when you snowboarded alone last week @ BM, you didn’t waste any single minute and the fun was full filled your time as well, but I am pretty sure not at the break time. Coz if didn’t you miss someone, you should miss the whole pizza, as it’s been our family traditional ski resort order. 🍕
I admit that we wasted a lot of skiing time on Montreal trip last week, but it’s over, forget it. we continued at BM.
I know your guys tickets are valid until 10pm today, but you can stop at any time, it’s already 6pm, guys, and you still want to ski? 😮

If you think after skied 6 days straight in Quebec, followed by 7 hours of driving, someone still wanted to ski in Blue Mountain the following day, that was a joke, then you are wrong.
Good thing the following day was the New Year, and there was a family celebration party, so the crazy idea was quickly submerged by the expectation of the party with plenty of food and red wine.😄
Food was delicious and tastier than ever. However, someone seems to get more energy after the party😏. So the invitation came just the next day of the party when we were at work. Sorry buddy, not me, and not children either. There will be only your dear brand new snowboard who will accompany you on the cold mountain. 😶
I have tons of cleaning work at home after the trip. I am not responsible for the ski and ski boots; but I am responsible for the helmets, goggles, mask, gloves, socks and many more.
As I am emptying all the luggages and pockets, the Trail Maps everywhere. Most of them are more than 2 copies 😯.
Actually it’s not surprise for me, as I have been seeing this for years. So I have to consider this is your hobby buddy, just like some people who collect cars, wines and stamps. 😳
As almost a senior skier, you are an expert on reading trail maps. Whenever we arrived at a resort, it doesn’t take your time on finding right trails. However, it always takes much longer time on reading trail maps when we get home.😶
You gathered you sons, recall all the trails that you have skied. So many times, you were telling me that you have excellent memory on the skiing trails, you can clearly tell most of the trails that you skied few years ago, well not the trails we hiked even last year. 😕.
So basically we have quite big amount of skiing trail maps at home, you sometimes read them happily. And I wonder if those trail maps are even more attractive to you than the pictures that we took. 😕
The next is our skiing tickets. I think it’s my mistake that I never come up a hobby to collect them. The amount should be even bigger than the trail maps. Because our family will have 4 tickets in each resort vs. 1 trail map 😏.
Besides, unlike the the trail maps, they are only a piece of boring paper. Skiing tickets are quite different in each resort. Some resorts using plastic rings, some using metal pins, but they’re both super strong. You can’t remove them without a cutter. That’s the reason why we always have a bunch of tickets which remain on our snow jackets after each trip.
In addition, some resorts using card which can be kept inside your pocket, it will be scanned when you are passing through prior the lift. This is cool, you won’t have hanging tickets scratch your face problem. But you have to make sure that you don’t put the card together with your cell phone, otherwise it will cause delays in the busy line.
Now, I have taken off all the tickets from our snow jackets. When I put them together, it shows different colors, designs, types, resorts and dates. It was beautiful and cute. However it is also really costly 😩.
I would like to start my first ticket collection hobby from now onwards. However, my goal is not to collect more, but to collect less year by year. And good luck for me! 😋
