A day at Big White

So today I had the opportunity to Ski at Big White with my brothers. We had bought Geigerrig backpacks. you should check them out  http://www.geigerrig.com/. The backpacks come with a Skullcandy passport that has around 30 free lift tickets at different resorts around the continent and Big White is one of them. The view was amazing, blue skies and a view that stretched out for miles and miles. As we were skiing from where we bought our tickets to the central chair lifts we were cruising down a nice green run. We started down a pretty steep hill and I see my brother almost bite it at the bottom. I think nothing of it until I reach the bottom and the hill flattens out rather abruptly. Luckily my knees held strong and I didn't bottom out literally. The day was filled with beautiful long runs and fun hills. There is a bowl that you can ride the chair lift out of. Its so big that as you are looking around its like a 180 degree view of snow! Very majestic. All in all a great day was had by all at Big White.

Silver Star

Wahoo!! This week Nelson and I are skiing the beautiful land of Canada! We are here with the whole family up at Silver Star. Coming up to Silver Star has been a tradition for Nelson's family for awhile now and I am so glad it is. This is my first big ski trip and it has been a blast. Yesterday was my first day here and it was awesome. Nelson and I took a afternoon lesson which helped me gain more skill and now I feel much more confident on the slopes.

Today was another beautiful day. We went down much more blue runs than yesterday. We even hit up a black diamond on accident. That was a little scary! But I made it down safe and sound. My goal is that by the end of the week I will hit up a black diamond and be able to do it well. Skiing up in a beautiful area with those I love is a great way to spend Valentine's Day. All my love to my family and friends, may you know how much you are loved.
