Colorado 2020 with The Boys
There are times when snow can be a real pain in the ass. But, there are also ways we learn to enjoy it
Early in 2020, I got to love the snow when I was in beautiful Colorado with four of my closest buddies from college. Since graduating, we have organized snowboarding trips in beautiful Colorado on an almost annual basis (there was one year when one of our friends got married and decided to go to Costa Rica instead).
This year, I found a great deal of comfort in the level of friendship I have with Bob, Dan (Dabos), Rob, and Tyler. It had been two years since we were all last together on a trip. I was amazed by, after being separated by our careers, relationships, and life itself, when we were finally all together again, our relationships remained natural and unchanged. Of course, we had a bit of catch-up to get out of the way. But, we did it fast and got straight to having fun and doing something we all love, snowboarding…
Another thing I reflect on is how our reunion is augmented by our friends and family who we embrace on our trip. Courtney, Gus, Joe, Paige, and Jill came for all or parts of the trip. Their presence + our presence + Colorado = one fun trip.
