Skiiing in Snowshoe
Well tonight we're heading off to Snowshoe to go skiing. Katie and I are leaving St. Louis here after she gets off work tonight, then we're driving through the night. Mapquest says just under a 11 hour drive. So if it takes 13 with weather that'll be fine by us. We should be leaving somewhere around 9pm CST and I slept all day today so I'll be fresh for the drive.
We're staying at the Mountain Lodge Condominium right in the main village. We can't check in until 5pm, but we hope we can get into it early, we did last year. But the plan is to get there in the morning and start skiing, then check in when we can and then maybe go back out again later too. :) Ryan Hill, Jen and her brother, Mike, are all driving up from Jacksonville tonight as well and we're going to somehow meet up with them. At least we know we will meet them in the room that evening. It's just more skiing and then we leave on the 8th.
I'm going to be taking a bunch of pictures and I'm going to try to take some video this year. My skiing goal this year is try The Cup run. Other than that it's to come out healthy. I don't mind crashing at all, I just don't want to break something. Now I've got to knock on wood, throw a pinch of salt over my shoulder and do every other superstitious thing so I didn't just jinx myself there. ;) Other than that I'll show everyone some pictures when I get back. Please don't mind that there won't be any updates till I get back. Adios!
