Goodbye Winter Season

Looks like the end of winter is here. This year is already moving fast. I just finished another semester of school and I'm already on to the next one. Not a whole lot of time on my hands but we recently made it out to New Mexico for a ski/snowboarding trip. We try to do this at least once a year. This year instead of Ruidosa we went to Angel Fire. This was a really good move. I actually don't think we need to look any further. The drive was a little longer but well worth it. The snow was amazing and the sight was just beautiful. This year my parents came along. My mom did not think she would like the whole cold weather and outside activities but she ended up having a blast. My dad was also a major help. He drove the entire 15 hours straight back home. I was really excited about the car ride but somehow I got stuck in the last seat of the car. I couldn't hear any of the conversations or be heard..somehow I think that was the plan. That's okay because I got to read a book that I had not had the time to read. Anyways, so I we took some ski lessons this year. I thought that it would be easier than snowboarding but that wasn't the case. I think they are equally challenging but fun. I actually got sick on the day we purchased our lifts and ski rentals. I was not feeling so well but I hung in there till our time expired. Next year I'll be up to either one. The only thing I like about ski versus snowboard is that I don't have to drag the snowboard to the lift. If I can avoid that part I would love it more than ski. I have to mention to that the elevation was not kind to us. I had such a hard time breathing. It was ridiculous. I have spent some time working on my endurance and hoping that I was up to the snow activities but that elevation crap knocked the air out of me plus I felt like throwing up..which I did but that was part of my sickness...i think.  Louis on the other hand spent a lot of time snowboarding with Aj. He was pretty fearless and went through some pretty crazy slopes in the snowing weather. Next year I hope to keep up with them. Well I'm over this lingering cold weather and looking forward to some spring dresses!
