Wes’s Life

The guys and I decided to pack up and go hit the slopes for a day. Sat­ur­day was that day and we headed out to Win­ter­green Resort located con­spicu­lously in Win­ter­green, VA. Need­less to say, a trip that was simply dis­played on Google Maps turned into a redicu­lous travel in which we stopped in little towns, drove around moun­tains and gen­er­all got lost. Yet, we even­tu­ally got there.

The place was packed! Holy crap, all snow­boards for people over five feet were rented out. That sucks, oh well, get ski boots and move along. So I get up to the counter where I get my skis and I ask the guy if he’s got any boards behind the counter he’d be will­ing to give me. Lo and behold, there’s one left; yet, its got a messed up bind­ing stuck in goofy. Now that I have my board I need to go exchange boots and all they have is one pair of 9’s. They fit…barely and I’m losing feel­ing.

Well, I get out there and get the lessons they include for free and after an hour or so I can go down the hill with­out falling into the double digits. After a while my feet begin to really kill, so I decide to try skiing. I figure that I did it as a kid, it shouldn’t be too hard right? Haha, wow I had no con­trol what­so­ever. So it looks like I’ll be stick­ing to snow­board­ing.

Well, over­all it was a good time, prob­a­bly too short. Next season we’ll have to do this a bit more often.
