Katie came to visit! She was headed home for the holidays and detoured to come and stay with us for a weekend! While the majority of the weekend was rather relaxing and we spent most of the time catching up, we also spent an afternoon on the slopes! It was the weirdest thing... the resort had made snow. Sounds normal, yes? Well, in AZ, the resort pretty consistently had a ton of snow whenever we went snowboarding. This VA resort had put snow only on the slopes; so not only did I have to figure out how to snowboard again, but I also had to not slide sideways into the grass... it was nuts. But we had fun!
After a few "big kid" runs, we went in for some "big kid" beverages! I warmed my wet butt by the huge fireplace (when you fall on your butt repeatedly, it doesn't matter how waterproof your awesome orange and purple pants are...) and then we headed out for a few more runs. I decided to let Aaron and Katie go without me and I spent some time with the not-so-big-kids on the bunny hill trying to figure out my technique. Aaron and Katie did a few runs without me and then recruited me for one last big hill run before we headed out!
I did decently enough for not having been in a year; but even 4 hours of falling is a lot. At least my snowboarding outfit matches my board! The important things...
After we'd had enough (and our tickets expired), we headed home for some pizza, football, and a fire... which helped warm my back muscles. Every muscle hurt... but it was super fun!
