This spring break I didn’t escape the winter weather, but in my eyes, nothing compares to a ski trip getaway to the mountains.

The running joke that Livi and I had all trip was that, “Cabo looks different.” Most college students spend their spring break by the beach, but I didn’t even think of it when I was in Vermont. It actually felt a little  like Cabo when I was skiing because I was wearing four too many layers, I was SWEATING. Vertmont was 50 degrees, that’s unheard of for Vermont in March!

Livi’s family has a house in Warren, VT at Sugarbush ski resort. It’s a little under 4 hours from Quinnipiac and made for a perfect weekend ski trip getaway.

I haven’t done a ski trip in years with my own family, so being able to go with Livi and part of her family was so nice. I always tell people my favorite memories growing up are the ones spent skiing for the week with my family.

The weekend gateaway ski trip

We got to the house around dinner time and snacked liked it was the LAST snack we would ever have. We bought all these chips and candy bags for Livi’s cousins and friends. By the time they got there, they were gone. It’s spring break after all…I had no need for a beach bod.

That night we caught up with Livi’s cousins and his friends and played some games.

The next day I had to decide whether or not I was going to ski or snowboard. I had skiied my whole life and a few years ago I switched over to snowboarding (which I just never really got down pat). I didn’t want to hold anyone up so I went back to my roots of skiing and somewhat picked it right back up (kinda sorta).

After skiing, we went to a bar with live music on the resort which was so fun. Anyone who knows me, knows my love for live music.

That night we played more games, and I swear I’ve never laughed harder in my life at “What do you Meme?”

Sunday we decided to just go into town, walk around and shop. Then we were headed home for Sunday dinner with Livi’s family.

It was my perfect spring break ski getaway, and a nice time to unwind and relax before COVID-19 mayhem began. Please stay home with your loved ones and enjoy the time together. Pray for all of those who are counting on it and try to think positively. We will be OK, one day at a time..
