My birthday gift this year from Casey was (drum roll please.....) A DAY OF SKIING!!! Oooo Ya! I have been wanting to go skiing for years since we have so many ski resorts within driving distance that you can make an easy weekend or day trip out of.
My parents came over on Friday evening to spend the night so Casey and I could get up Saturday morning and head out to Whitetail Ski Resort (located in PA). The weather was bad on Saturday so it took us about 3.5 hours to get there when normally it only takes 1.5 hours. Our plan was to ski all evening until 10pm when they close, spend the night, and head back home on Sunday. Neither one of us had been skiing in 15 years so there was a bit of a learning curve but it all came back after a couple of runs. :)
By about 9pm we were DONE! :( Just completely worn out and couldn't go anymore. So we packed it up and headed back to the hotel with NO INJURIES but some obvious sore muscles. :)
This is from Saturday morning before we left. You can't really tell but out the window behind us it is snowing. We got about 5 -6 inches on Saturday at home which made the drive to PA a little slow.
Leaving the hotel to head to the ski slopes.
Entering the resort with the slopes in front of us.
The goggles do look "dorky" but they REALLY keep your eyes warm. Now I know for next time to get a mask for the mouth and nose b/c that was really the only part that was frozen the whole time we were out there.
It was cold! I have no idea what the wind chill was but it was frigid. :)
