"Sometimes the BEST RUNS, are the ones that you have to take an ADVENTURE to get to." By Alicia Alba Was an interesting weekend for weather. The weather report was calling for 50% chance of 4-8 on Thursday for Saturday. Well the temperatures were slightly off and not in our a favor. 😔 We always try to make the best of it and with temperatures dropping overnight into Sunday we knew we had to take advantage of "Spring Skiing in January". Despite my gloves being completely saturated, it was probably the best day of the season thus far. Luckily we woke up to snow on Sunday, but it was not enough and conditions were fast and firm. Luckily a little side ADVENTURE redeemed the day. As we made our way back home, we were graced with an amazing sunset. What a way to end another memorable weekend at Pico with friends.

The weather almost held us back today, but surprisingly the conditions were soft and fun. Thanks @lindsay_mckeon @meganlmckeon for convincing us to go out, it certainly made it a bonus day. We could barely see the kids riding on the chair in front of us. Thank you @boulder_gear for the new jackets. They were put to the test today. 👍👍 We all stayed dry and warm. The new lenses from @xevoopticsofficial Are great even on #foggedin days. #Skifamily #skiingwithfriends #thisisvt #mypico #AlbaAdventures #outsidefamily (at Pico Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6mi4CIFiLJ/?igshid=jaqyin3m97kv

It felt like a spring day this morning skiing @picomtn but an early sunset was a reminder it is close to winter solstice. Love how the glow of the sunset was hitting Deer's Leap as we skied down. #winter #skiinginthesunset #skimom #skifamily #mypico @boulder_gear @xevoopticsofficial (at Pico Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6b4AT0l77R/?igshid=1bj91flgzm76w

Since we started skiing again, we have always tried to take an annual trip to Jay Peak during Spring Break from which usually falls on Sandro's Birthday; making this trip our last big hurrah before the end of the ski season. Late last season, Jay Peak’s staff shocked us by asking if we would be interested in being part of their 2019/2020 Winter Magazine. We were not sure what to expect. We arrived at Jay Peak a week later where we met with @shrednek242 who not only showed us some secret stashes at Jay Peak, but we also got to splash around in the waterpark after a full day of skiing, which has been part of our family tradition. Needless to say, our time with him and at Jay Peak was arguably one of our most memorable experiences there to date. We had a great time, but we were still not sure how the article and photos were going to turn out for the magazine and or if we would even make it into the magazine. To our surprise we did make the cut and got a glimpse of it not too long ago. What we can say is that we are incredibly moved by what Stephanie Nitsch wrote about us and the photos Andrew captured. The article which, we have only been able to read from this image, is beyond precious and tearful to us at the same time. Stephanie and Andrew really captured the essence of what we (Alba Adventures) are all about: you have the memories forever, not material things. We can't wait to go back up to Jay Peak again this season, hoping to make it there this time on a glorious powder day. To create more memories for us with our kids and our kids with us and hopefully their friends. To those that have followed our project you may know why Jay Peak is so special to us, to those that have not, we ask that you watch “Sol Full Sunday” to understand why. The link is http://bit.ly/374ivef . Thank you so much @jaypeakresort, Steve Wright, , Stephanie Nitsch and Andrew James Lanoue for this and all the years of your sharing our video shorts recorded there. We are eternally grateful. If you happen to be up at the @bostonskisnowexpo this weekend be sure to check it out. (at Jay Peak Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/B40IHnKFwDA/?igshid=1myr6b3vtfi60

Last night was the opening Red Carpet Reception, followed by the premiere of "Making Waves: The Art of of Cinematic Sound"a film by @MidgeCostin a documentary revealing the hidden powers of sound in cinema. Next Sunday "Wilderness" will be screened, but this weekend there are some awesome looking films which we hope to check out.
