EXTREME!!!!!!!

Today we woke up to 6 inches of snow on the ground, the road to Denver apparently closed, and really really heavy eyelids.......until we found out we could still make it to Loveland Ski Area! It was fantastic! I swear, I have the best luck when it comes to lessons and great instructors (including Sam). Either that or I am completely stupid when it comes to great ski days. Both times I've had lessons, it was super cold and windy, but I was able to get a two hour private lesson for $21! And my instructor was really super cool and patient and helped me overcome a little bit of my mind block about going fast down the hills. He also took some fabulous photos and a video of me! Thanks Garrett!

I know I'm still not completely over my mental block because I wiped out quite a bit, but I made them count. There were a few times that I fell so hard that I was rolling down the mountain with my board in the air attached to my feet spinning like a helicopter! Don't worry mom, the snow was so soft I don't think I even got a bruise! In fact, there was so much powder that I face planted a few times because my board kept getting stuck on the snow.

I think that the worse part of the day was when the hook on my pants popped off without me realizing it (I really need to get back to the gym) and when I fell a few times and got snow down my pants. Oh man was it cold! My pants actually stayed wet and cold for the rest of the day. It was over all a really good day though.

There was one thing that I regret about today, but it was slightly out of my control. I only went down the blue hill one time without my instructor there. My reasoning? I couldn't breathe well and was very dizzy and lightheaded and really didn't think that I was going to make it, but I did, just once.
So now we're back in the hotel just hanging out, and I'm about to fall asleep, so good night everyone!
