We arrived on Saturday and it took us forever because we flew into Denver and then rented a suburban to drive to Beaver Creek which is only 20 minutes from Vail. But, it started snowing so bad so it took us double the time but we made it after 5 hours in the car...
Saturday night we just enjoyed getting adjusted and lots of sleep to hit to slopes the next day.
Sunday was Valentine's day and we all woke up to presents from Drew's parents. We had a great breakfast and then we were off... Justin (Codi's boyfriend) and I were off to ski school while everyone else were off to ski. In ski school I was the best in my class :) Haha everyone else was 40 or older and everyone was from a different country! My ski teacher was even from Germany. But it was fun to learn the "basics." After a loooooong day of ski school we all headed back to the house to meet the Louisiana crew that had just flew in and to get ready for our Valentine's dinner date with Justin and Codi. The four of us went into the village and had a yummy dinner at this place called "The Dusty Boot."
Monday I awoke to very SORE legs but we headed off to the slopes again. I was determined to use what I had learned the previous day, however Drew's aunt decided to take me on a green called "Cinch." Let's just say.... it was not a cinch.... it was the LONGEST route on the mountain!! I about DIED! I felt like my legs were going to fall off because there were so many points where you had to pole. Anyways, we made it down and I was done for the day! Monday night we had a yummy dinner again with all of Drew's relatives that were finally in town and all of the women watched the Bachelor.
Tuesday I awoke again to very SORE legs... but I was determined to ski! We decided to go down some different greens that had some blues. I'm still not very confident in myself to go down blues but I wanted to be good. I fell ALOT... but I still had fun. I think my favorite part of skiing was actually riding the lifts :) But overall it was a great day. Tuesday night we had a Turduckhin... which I had never had before and we celebrated Mardi Gra style (of course we would with all of the Louisianans') with beads, cake, and celebrating Drew's aunt and cousins' birthday. We also played taboo and pictionary. It was fun.
Today we woke up at 5 am to head back to Denver to head home. Overall, it was a wonderful trip and even though most people don't like skiing the first time they try it, I really loved it! I think the next time I go I will enjoy it more but we had so much fun. I can't wait till next year!
Here are some pictures, enjoy! :)
