Skiing
was phenomenal; the perfect balance
of both fun and challenging. The
photo above is of my sister Nicole, my friend Mike, me and my boyfriend James
(from left to right). With the recent
snowfall we all had high expectations
for the perfect trail conditions and had
the itch to hit to slopes. We were likes kids in a candy shop; our alarms
were set yet never used, we rose with the Saturday morning sun. The day flew
by, we had a blast skiing and thoroughly
enjoyed each other’s company; I’m not sure which was more sore my legs from
skiing or stomach from laughing.
