Ski Bunnies

Our area is very mountainous, and there are several ski resorts around us (at least 4 within an hours' drive, and others a bit further away). In the past week, we've been skiiing 3 times! The first time, we had free lift tickets, so we only paid for ski rental. The past times, we've gotten a 30% lift discount so we've been saving a few bucks (15 each person each time). Phoenix Park seems to be the best in the area, and the past 2 times we've gone there. Our friend Vin has also come with (he's a boarding kind of guy).

Yesterday we were lucky as it had snowed the night before (at least 4 inches) so we had fresh snow on the slopes. It also snowed on and off throughout the day, so it was cool to ski with snow all around. We even progressed up to the intermediate hill, which was a bit freaky but something to be proud of tackling.
Today we're relaxing at home; tomorrow our friend Tara is coming for a visit! She has work in Beijing, which is only an hour and half by fligth away, so she's coming for 3 days! We'll show her a good time, and then it's back to school for us on Monday, the 3rd. We've basically been away from our school since the end of Dec, so it's going to be hard to get back into working again. We've had a great vacation, though, so we can't compain!

A few of the runs at Phoenix Park Ski Resort-they have close to 20 runs!

There was a ski competition on this course. It looked pretty cool!
