Skiing

So Saturday my mom called me around noon "Come home, you're going skiing with your Dad and your brother tomorrow and you are driving up tonight". So I went back to my dorm, grabbed my skiis and made my way to Jackson.



My Dad got home from work around 7pm and we loaded up the car and drove to Harbor Springs. We stayed at the Comfort Inn that night and went to Nubs Nob in the morning. I was surprised to see almost no one at the hill on yesterday (Sunday), my Dad blamed it on the economy. Regardless it made for a great day of skiing. We never had to wait for the chairlift and no single run was saturated with skiers.



A family freind, Nick (not the one that went to all my races, a different one) went up with us too. This was his first time on a large hill on his snowboard. It made for some interesting watching. I think his record was 5 falls on one black diamond. But near the end of the day, he had gotten a hold of it and was doing much better.



It was nice to try out and use my new boots and skiis. The carving was different because the skiis are wider and the boots are stiffer, but it was fun. Due to the fact that they are twin tipped skiis, I did go down an entire run backwards and I did hit up the terrain park for an hour or so.
