{ momentous occasion }

So many of you know a little over 8 years ago I was in a roll-over car accident on the way to go skiing with some friends in Northern Idaho. To say the least ... I was a little traumatized by what happened (even though thankfully we all walked away from the car with no major injuries).

I haven't been skiing since. At first it was because of my fear to drive in the snow. The more and more time went by I became less afraid of driving in the snow (some would beg to differ) and instead I became more worried that I couldn't ski anymore (it HAS been 8 years). Last week I finally got enough courage to face both fears...and went skiing. This was a momentous outing for me!


Fortunately it all came back so quickly and was able to enjoy the day skiing. I went with my new roommate Holly up to Sundance. We had such a good time skiing, joking about my good friend "Robby" (a.k.a. Robert Redford) and how I managed to completely ruin my ski poles within the first hour. On like the second time on the chair lift I accidentally bent my poles as they got caught between the chair lift and the ground. I mean who does that? And metal? I was laughing so hard all the way up and got the weirdest looks the rest of the day because how funny they looked. Thank goodness I bought the rental insurance ... four dollars well spent.
