Yesterday, my dad, little brother and I went to Nakiska, mainly to use my free passes I had acquired during my awesome season of fantastic teaching! The snow was absolutely soft and wonderful, it was a few inches of fresh snow on packed, so it was really nice on the edges! Then my little brother decided he would like to try a back country mogul run. I only came along just in case someone died. Um, the powder was super deep which made it really hard to ski on. My skis stopped abruptly, and I did not so I fell over. Then I got up and made it to the actual mogul run. Which was extremely difficult. One because it was deep powder two because there were hard packed moguls underneath the powder so you couldn't tell where you were supposed to go or where the moguls are. So I kept on getting thrown off balance because my skis would randomly stop because of the powder, and then they'd hit a mogul so they accelerated quite rapidly into the next powder pit in which they would come to a complete halt- causing me to faceplant- luckily into a pit of powder-and loose a ski. How much fun did I have. Oh, and also there were random baby trees sticking out of the ground, so in case the powder pits and moguls didn't make you fall over, you'd be sure to catch an edge on a hidden baby tree.
Other than that, the day was marvelous.
At around 2:00, the base area had warmed up to 10 degrees, creating the snow at the bottom to turn to sticky slush. So while skiing to the base, you're skis felt like they had the emergency brakes on, and you jittered and had a seizure while trying not to fall over while skiing down to the bottom, which made our day.
Today, I went over to Lalaina's place! It was a blast, and we watched Cranford. It was pretty awesome, but more gory then I would have thought. And absolutely hilarious!
Best week ever!!
