Snowshoe

We went skiing this week and it was awesome. We went to Snowshoe, WV Sunday through Wednesday. We got to skii all day on Monday and it was 50 degrees so it wasn't cold but conditions were great. Tuesday, it rained ALL day!!! It was crazy because it was a constant downpour and melted all the snow. So, on Tuesday, we sat around the cabin all day and watched it rain. Wednesday morning, we woke up and there was a dusting of snow all over the ground so we thought it would be great skiing for the morning before we had to leave. Well, we got on the slopes and everything was covered in a sheet of ice with about a 1/16" of snow on top. It was crazy sketchy because in some places, you could hear water running under the ice that we were skiing over!!! It was also snowing/sleeting really hard at this point and the wind was blowing so you couldn't see 3 feet in front of your face. So, we didn't ski very much yesterday. It was still a blast and now we are going to go buy ourselves skiis so that we can try to make a couple of day trips in the NC mountains. Hopefully, we are going out west next year for a trip, too.





On the way home, we got to stop in Charlotte to see my best friend Penny~ yay!!





Here are some pics from our back door at the ski trip:
