Tahoe Ski Trip

Dang - so I'm already behind for the year! So...let me catch up!

We went to Heavenly Ski Resort at South Lake Tahoe towards the end of January. Now yes, it's very true that I am such a klutz and therefore not a very good skiier BUT I love to go on winter trips and ski, tube, just play in the snow. When we got there on Thursday it was raining and it didn't snow in town until late Saturday and Sunday. We did ski on Friday which was horrible! It was warm enough on the mountain that although it was snowing it was a wet snow. We were soaked to the bone by the end of the day. And I fell a million times! One of the last times I fell my head snapped back and I had whiplash for several days after - not fun. Saturday we took a break because we were tired and I had not recovered from my falls. We had planned on going up the gondola to do the Heavenly Flyer - a zip-line ride!!! Yeah, didn't happen, the Flyer was closed the entire time we were there due to weather. Instead we went and saw a movie, Bride Wars - cute and had drinks at Cabo Wabo in one of the casinos. Sunday wasn't too much more exciting. Jason skiied for part of the day but I was still suffering so I walked around the village and then went up later to go tubing.

All in all I would have to say it was the worst ski trip I've ever been on. On the positive side, it was nice to get away from work for a few days and we still managed to have fun despite the circumstances. Here's some pics - nothing to amazing because of the rain it was always foggy and misty so we didn't get to see the amazing views that Tahoe is known for!

This is the view we had from the mountain. We were expecting much clearer skies but no such luck.:(

Like I said, not my favorite vacation ever but still a nice getaway. Oh - I did read some books while we were there! Marley and Me was one of them - I really want to see the movie now but am glad I read the book. It's such a good story and true!
