Feb 28, 2010

We all met up at the buses near the Student Center early in the morning in preparation for our ski trip. After loading up the bus and waiting for a few last minute inspections, we left only about twenty minutes late.

Once we all suited up, booted up and found a locker (finally,) we got out on the slopes. It was Joanna's first time ever skiing and she did really well. She picked it up pretty quickly. Maybe I'm just that good at teaching?

We had to bring the gnome along as well to ride the lift up with us. He stayed in my pocket after that.

I took Joanna on a blue trail for her second run since she did so well on the first one. She did just as well on that one.

Josh snowboards in jeans. He doesn't just sit in the center of the trail, he relaxes.

Mike and I did a more difficult trail together but the conditions weren't great so it wasn't as fun. Turning tightly over moguls isn't as easy with a hurt ankle either.

It was Laura's first time skiing as well. She seemed to be doing pretty well also and having fun. We spent a lot of our time over on Paradise. There were a lot of people there so wherever we went was crowded.

We all managed to stay together most of the day. We took a break in the afternoon to get lunch at the lodge. We had the veggie sandwiches left over from the night before and it was nice to take a break and make some videos in the cafeteria.

We went back out for quite a while. It started snowing/raining a little bit toward the end of the night and got much colder. We stayed out until we had to meet up at the bus though. We got a good long day of skiing out of it. The sky looked really nice at the end of the day as well.

We got back on the bus and had to wait for people who took their time getting back. We stopped at a rest stop for food on the way back and had a good ride home. It was a long fun day and I was exhausted after. I need to go more before the season is over.

I guessssss you're a good teacher. But I think I'm just a better learner.
