Mom’s Weekend with Dad (Before)

Mom’s weekend is an event at Washington State University that comes around once a year. It is a very popular and anticipated event for many moms. This event is usually scheduled sometime in the end of March or early April. This past school year Mom’s weekend happened to be the same weekend as the closing weekend at Schweitzer. The weekend was April 3-5.When I found this out I immediately told my mom if she wanted to visit for Mom’s weekend we would not be spending the weekend in Pullman, but rather in Sandpoint Idaho. My mom, a ski fanatic, had no problem with this.

As it began getting closer to April my moms schedule at work got really busy and she was no longer going to be able to come. But, she assured me with no worries, that my dad would be taking her place for Mom’s weekend…I was stoked.

My dad flew into the Spokane Airport early Friday morning. I picked him up and we drove back to Pullman so I could attend my classes that day. As soon as class was over we hit the road and headed for Sandpoint. My dad, a ski fanatic as well, had never been to Schweitzer before. I was really excited to be able to spend a weekend shredding with him at my home resort.

It was also going to be a phenomenal weekend because Schweitzer was having Tropical Daze to celebrate the ending of another fantastic season. The events were scheduled to include pond skimming, live music, games, and a dummy race.
