LAKE TAHOE SKI TRIP

This is our last day of skiing, our knees were throbbing, we were sweating, our aderenline had been pumping, but we had huge smiles because we just had a blast taking on the slopes!!

Seth did so great on the Snowboard....he was able to pick it back up very fast.

This was after a wipeout, I was really hot trying to get BOTH my skis back on :)

On the shuttle to the Gondala to take us up the mountain to go skiing!

Getting ready for our second day of skiing, not as many layers this day. We got way too hot yesterday! There was one guy skiing backward down in this boxer briefs....he wanted attention!

This is our view of Lake Tahoe from the Heavenly ski slopes.

Getting ready to eat lunch, they had a band playing as you would eat a 10.00 hamburger ( we weren't eating a hamburger though...too much money)

Snow Bunny

Seth is getting ready to take on the California slope, if we went the other way we would be skiing on the Nevada Slopes.

I just love this guy!

Well, we had a blast!!!! Lake Tahoe was very beautiful, the water looked different each day we were there, but it is known for its blue blue water. We went skiing for two days, and stayed at a really nice ski resort for an incredible deal...due to the last weekend of ski season and great deals they were offering!!!! Seth snowboarded while I skied. On our first day we practiced on some bunny slopes, then we were ready to hit the Blues (because there were no greeens) We asked for the easiest one to go down first, and we were misadvised. This Blue was right under the ski lift, and I could already tell that I wasn't liking what I saw up ahead. Yes, there were Moguls...icy moguls...and I had a good wipeout! One of my ski was left behind ( above me on the crunchy icy snow), my husband was below me just watching ( I am sure with a smile), and I also had an audience from above on the ski lift. I literally had to crawl up the Moguls, slide back down, crawl again....I stretched so hard to reach the ski. I finally got my ski, tried and tried to get it back on but since I was on such a steep slope I could get an weight to push down to pop my ski back on. I ended up sliding down on my rear over the Moguls as my ski lift audience gave me words of encouragment....yes....yes....kind of embarrassing :)

However, the rest of the day went really well. The slopes weren't very crowded, which made our ski time more active due to no lines and low ski traffic. Seth and I asked each other when we got so old, because our knees were killing us....good thing I remembered to bring the Advil!!! We ate at a sushi restaurant that evening, we loved it! We ordered the sunburn roll....amazing....it also matched our sunburned faces. The next day we found some new blue routes that were really fun, we got more adventurous our second day of skiing. Seth tried some jumps, and conquered a few and wiped out as well...both were fun for me to watch :) We ate Red Hut Waffle for breakfast, which is like the E's Inn for Lake Tahoe. On our way home we listened to "The Broker", stopped at TJMaxx, and got a sandwich at Safeway. Overall, we made some wonderful memories and had a perfect trip! What a blessing!
