Went to Kirkwood over President's Holiday. Got in some good skiing and got a pair of new skis, whoo hoo! They turn very quickly, so it'll take a little getting used to. There was a blizzard on the last day, so we left a little early, good thing, too, I didn't really want to be snowed in! Overall, I was not impressed with Kirkwood, but maybe that's because I've been spoiled going to Sun Valley and Park City.. Can't wait to go to Mammoth with Chris over Spring Break! My skiing still needs a little work to be able to keep up with him, but that's ok, I'll just laugh a lot as I tumble down the hill! =( I only fell a few times this weekend and once was 'cuz the skis weren't adjusted right, so my boot kept falling out and another was 'cuz my dad decided to change direction right when I'm in the middle of a bunch of bumps, and I'd never turned on bumps before! Oh well. Highlight of the weekend: Trying to make that one turn on the steepest part of the black diamond moguls and sliding backwards on my back, skis up in the air for about 100 feet. When I finally flipped my skis around to stop myself, the guy next to me says, "Good thing you stopped right after you dropped it, I thought you were gonna slide all the way down the hill and have to climb back up to get it." I thought, 'dropped what?' Then I looked back up the hill and my other ski is stuck straight out of the snow. It took two people to pry it out. I don't know how it happened!
