My First Ski trip






I love living in Las Vegas due to the fact that I have the strip with casinos, clubs, restaurants and bars. If you travel a little to the West, we have the Hoover Dam with Lake Mead, which makes for awesome water play, fishing, camping and sightseeing. If you drive about 30 minutes, you can go to Mt. Charleston. You can hike, camp, and Ski at the resort. JR is a great snowboarder and I wanted to go and ski. I had NEVER tried it before and just assumed that it was way easier than everyone claimed. I mean, it looks easy, right? WRONG. The scenery was amazing, but I will never try this again in my life. The skiing isn't hard. The STOPPING IS! Forget the bulldozers. If you guys need any trees or bushes cleared, give me some skiis and call me in the Winter!

You are way more brave than me. Even the idea of the ski lift scares me, and the thought of sliding down a mountain with a stick strapped to each foot sounds disastrous.

I thought I might like to try snowboarding, since both feet are at least strapped to the same thing, but I've heard it is REALLY hard.
