Today my family and I went up skiing and snowboarding for the first time this season. The conditions were amazing. It was like spring skiing with deep-winter powder. After one run, I had all the skill and confidence I had at the end of last year, and I even improved today. My dad and I spent the day on blue runs.

I’m now exhausted, sore, and looking forward to next time. It’s a bit of a long drive, but it’s well, well worth it.

This was the last day of the ski season. We went up fairly early, and it was incredible. The weather was beautiful and sunny, the snow was still pretty powdery and there was hardly anyone there.

We stayed mostly on greens in the morning, which were perfectly fine, and then went on blues, which were a lot better in the afternoon. Going to a big ski resort is a lot better than a small one, obviously. There are a ton more runs, the runs are wider, and in general the snow is also better.

On the way home though, we got a flat tire. We pulled over because we thought my snowboard was flapping around on the roof, but it was actually our tire. We got out and fixed it in about a half hour, which was really good considering the way it could have turned out. It was a great way to end the ski season, though.
