Skiing at Brighton

This was my second ski experience, and it was awesome! My Mom has been trying to take me for a couple years now, and finally the planets aligned and we were able to go. Ryan was a little over confindent in his skills and ate it a couple of times, Melissa and Mike were boarding fools, and my Mom is in the best shape of her life and showed us all up on the slopes. All in all it was awesome weather for most of the day and we all had a great time, I can't wait to go again.
This experience reminded me of the first time I went skiing when I was about 17 and I went with my girlfriends from High School (which I am still really close to). First let me prefece this story by saying that Adrienne, K.A., and Lindsay had taken ski lessons several winters growing up, and were excellent instructors on how to snow plow. However after one or two runs down the bunny hill, they were confident in my and Emily's skills and took us up to the back mountain, a black diamond run. It was quite foggy and we could only see about 5 feet in front of you. So I would snow plow for about 5 feet, and call out for my friends ahead of me, who were patiently waiting, then snow plow another 5 feet, taking time to fall on my butt about every 10 feet. But it must not have totally scarred me for life because unlike Emily I skiied the rest of the day and decided to try it again. Thanks guys! Love Ya!
