Ski Trip

First off, let me thank Mr. Nick Miller for allowing me to go skiing with him. Okay, on with the proceedings.

This trip was amazing. Stated simply, I have found out that I enjoy skiing more than about every other activity I’ve ever done in my life. I don’t know if it’s the wind whipping your hair and clothes or the adrenaline rush you get when you realize you’re going a little bit too fast. Either way, skiing is absolutely incredible.

Granted, I went last year, but this year made me realize that the fun wasn’t just a onetime deal. I was actually thinking about trying out snowboarding, but Hannah and Nick talked me out of it. Again, thanks guys.

Anyway, we got there and I could tell I was already going to have more fun than the year before because it was a clear day. Last year it got really cold and snowy later in the day. Hannah had to take lessons so Nick and I tried out the bunny slopes to get warmed up. Once she was finished, we almost immediately started on the harder slopes, and eventually went down one I didn’t even know existed. It was by far the most fun.

Then Nick and I faced do or die time. Black diamond and the clock were staring us in the face. Were we men enough to try and conquer the hardest slope on the mountain? Oh heck yea. And it was kind of a letdown, because it wasn’t very difficult or fun at all, haha. Getting Hannah on it was harder than going down it, but I finally convinced her to after ages of persuasion.

I’m not very good at explaining great things without sounding stereotypical and otherwise boring, but this was pretty great, trust me.
