Y-Alps of Joy

June 10, 2008

What’s better than cooling off on the beach this summer? Really cooling off – on the slopes! Adventurous travelers, like Board Bettie here, are hitting the powdery wilderness of HandiPeaks Ski Resort this summer.

Roamin’ Rambler here, bringing you the most unusual travel stories in all of HandiLand. This week, we meet Board Bettie, who is addicted to her skis. So much so that she doesn’t wait for winter to come around again before strapping on her snow buddies.

“Why wait, I figure,” she says. “If all I need to do is go to HandiPeaks, where it snows all year long, then why bother with the beach?”

Some of us might agree while others just don’t get the snow mania in the middle of the nicest, sunniest season. “Who’d want to go skiing right now?” Milo asks as he looks out over the pool at HandiLand Academy and tips back a nice, cold glass of lemonade. “I’m just biding my time between the beach and the pool. A jacket? Please. The only thing I’ll use my jacket for is a beach umbrella.”

Milo seems to be in the majority but that isn’t stopping Board Bettie. “I meet all kinds of people on the slopes in the summer. They’re much cooler than the Cool Cats I meet in the winter. At least in the summer, I know they’re cold-loving cats of my own breed!”

While this travel reporter can think of a few things he’d rather do than ski this summer, the magical mountains of HandiPeaks pump out snow year-round for all kinds of board and ski maniacs. See you on the slopes – don’t forget your sunglasses!
