For a number of years, we had a tradition of "Ski In The New Year". We would often camp as well, making our first turns of the year ones we earn. It's been a bit since we've been able to make this happen, but it's definitely our favorite way. Away from people/fireworks/nonsense, connecting with each other and nature. I have the 31st and 1st off from rehearsal, so maybe we'll find out way outside this year again.
A couple years ago we decided we didn't want to be home at midnight, so we went to bar we'd previously only been to on weekend mornings for brunch, and wow it was so not our vibe. I think we had a drink each and then came back home before watching the Space Needle count down. 🤷♀️
Okay I LOVE that tradition! If I was a skier, I'd steal it for sure. I appreciate that the 1st is a Discovery Pass free day, so my current plan is to get outside and maybe join one of the ranger-led excursions.
Your experience of a bar being not the vibe on NYE is something I've unfortunately run into several times lol. Love the idea of celebrating the new year with a bunch of people, but have yet to find the right place to do it!
