Ode to Snow

Wow!
Today was so completely fun. The girls from my department at the office all four of us (yes we are numbered but we old our own) we went skiing and snowboarding in Big Bear. It was soo fun. So we left really early and make the trek up the mountain. For those of you who know me yes there was one or two u-turns but it really wasn't my fault we were too busy talking, singing, laughing and having a great time in the SUV.
We knew we were going to have a blast especially since three of them had never been to the snow before, so there was lots of questions and the apprehsion was high. Everyone kept watching the temperature gage for outside and hit it a whopping 28 degrees farenehit. Thanks God for thermal underwear, jackets, books, beanies, scarves and everything else we had brought with us.
So off to the slopes, we all took the beginer ski lessons for two hours and that was a trip, it was so icy and then right when we were done with the lessons it started snowing. That was pretty awesome.
So on to the slopes, the bunny hills have our names written all over it. We hit ice several times, had to crash several times due to fallen people in front of us, and we went up and down the slope several times. Thanks goodness for those wonderful cars that take you to the top.
So imagine 28 degrees, snowing and then the wind steps up and it is blowing hard. To sstand still is not an option you would freeze. My poor body thanking me for layering the Roxy outfit.
So after a full day, we headed home.
Thanks girls for a great time. See you next weekend and lets take the snowboarding lessons it looks way cooler than skiing.
