Hitting the slopes

As I mentioned in previous posts, Grady and Talia hit the slopes for the first time over the holidays and had a wonderful time. Well, this weekend it was my turn.



Yep...that's me cruisin' down the hill at Silver Mountain, having a great time! You have to know that this is only my 3rd time ever skiing and the 1st time in probably 14 years! It was a fun day....learning again! I think Talia even taught me a thing or two. Only had one little snafu...Grady took us down a blue hill that we didn't know much about and it ended up being SUPER steep! I was scared, but I didn't want to let on and freak out Talia...so I sucked it up and headed down VERY cautiously! Obviously, I wasn't cautious enough...because I fell and ended up sliding upside down on my back down the hill about 50 yards or so...losing a pole along the way! Luckily, I was fine and was able to laugh it off, but we stayed away from that hill for the rest of the day!

A great day, with great friends!

We're planning another trip up to Silver Mountain in Kellogg, ID in February with our friends to ski, tube and stay at the lodge that houses the largest indoor water-park in Idaho. Today was great practice and I am looking forward to next time already! Thanks to the LeGrants, Grady and Talia for a wonderful day!!
