Nick ‘n’ Heather

So yesterday we got up and lounged around for a while until Tim got here and we went to the ski hill. We got to Buck Hill around 6:30 and I picked up my boots and skis while they grabbed their lift tickets and we hit the slopes. I skipped right on past the bunny hill, I’d done this before.

We went down the easy run a few times and I was really starting to get the cut of things. Although we all felt really out of place because it was mostly overrun with 12 year olds. But who cares, we were having fun. After a few runs down the easy slope we went in to warm up for a few minutes. After some much needed warmth, we went back out and jumped directly onto a black diamond run. I started out fine, going slow and not getting crazy. Then a dumb snowboarder got in my way while I was curving back and forth. Somehow this put me on a straight course right for the bottom. I picked up way too much speed and ended up coming over the last hill before the bottom. The dropoff after that hill was a little too steep and I felt my upper body tilt forward. I tumbled head over heels and just remember a cloud of snow all around me. I got back on the horse but told Heather I didn’t want to stay on the big people hill anymore.

So we downgraded to a blue square run. Took it just fine my first time and it was pretty fun to go down a bigger hill. Went back up the lift and started coming down again. Made it all the way down just fine, but somehow forgot to start slowing down. It was about that time I noticed a nice looking fence coming up. I can’t remember the exact moment I was doomed, but I do distinctly remember thinking, “I’m gonna hit this fence”. So there I was crashing into a fence at full speed. I remember hitting, and I remember looking up at the sky. I had busted through the fence. I ended up actually being perfectly fine, but all the little kids thought it was pretty cool.

At this point I thought I’d better stick to the easy run for the rest of the night. So I stayed there and even went around a tree while Heather watched and I even jumped a little. It was a pretty fun night and the hot tub back in my apartment made it all worth it. Tim ended up staying over because it was so late and he was so tired. He took off early this morning and Heather and I lounged around for a while, baked some cookies and finally packed up and Heather headed out. So I’ve been relaxing ever since and trying not too move to much from being so tired and sore from our adventures yesterday.
