Snow

A few weeks ago Ryan and I rented some skiis for the season.  The weekend before last we took them out for a spin.  We met Brian, another resident from the GPR program, at Brighton.  He is a pretty advanced skiier, but he hung out on the beginner hill with us for a while.

We did alright.  I had skied a couple of times as a middle schooler, and Ryan had snowboard experience. My hips were sore the next day.

The following weekend we had a chance to get some Pho soup and vermicilli at Oh Mai Vietnamese restaurant in Holladay.  We also used our ice skating Groupon, and skiied our first time at SOlitude Resort.  We met up with Brian again, and Ryan somehow became a much better skier since last time.  He and Brian felt very confident on a steeper, longer run.  I, on the other hand, wiped out and got a mouthful of snow on our first time down.  After that I tried a couple more times but never felt quite comfortable.

I went back to the bunny hill while he and Brian went on the steeper one a few more times.

It was an ultra-short week this week.  We both worked on Monday, and on Tuesday (after Zumba and breakfast at the waffle joint) Jaron picked us up and dropped us off at the airport for our flight home.

It feels great to be back in Ohio for Thanksgiving!
