Skiing the Slopes

It was my first time skiing and I only fell down twice! Surprisingly good, right? I'm not for sure, but maybe my experience with ice skating helped a bit. Jeff, my dad, and I had a great time at Mt. Charleston in Las Vegas.


My grandma went with us to watch and to coach me, since she used to be a member of the ski patrol there years ago.


Honestly, I was slightly self-consious about my crazy outfit that day. Many of the other skiiers were wearing bright pink jackets with cute white ski pants, and I was doting this. I guess my excuse is that since I'd never been skiing before, I don't own ski clothes, so I used my dad's (no offense daddy) :)


I got bored with the Bunny Hill after the first try and went down the "Intermediate Hill" the rest of the day. My favorite part, however, was the Ski Lift...what a FUN ride! If you've never been on one, but don't want to ski, I'd highly recommend just going and riding all day.
