This was on the top of the Maggie! I hadn't gotten to ski any slopes yet. We were waiting on the rest of the gang to get to the top!
This is the same spot just a different view.
This was on the lift. Scaryyy! I didn't want to drop my phone, but I wanted a picture from the lift and my mom sent me a text :)
Whoo, pretty mountains! Isn't God's creation magnificent and to think that He is mightier than any mountain. It makes me feel small, but also amazed because He even cares for someone so small.
Why, yes, I did ski this. I pretty much just pointed my skis down. This is a black diamond called Shock. It's my absolute favorite.
This was on the top of Peak 8... I think. We were headed to the T-bar!
This is the top of the T-bar. In an earlier post I told you the Breckenridge's highest point is 12,998 feet. This is probably 11,000 something feet, at least. It's the highest elevation I've reached. If you can't tell, the picture underneath is pretty big drop. I skied that too :)
These signs though... Hilarious!
Top of Peak 10. Right in front of a bunch of moguls. Bleh.
Okay, so I'll give you some insight into my day. It was great!! It may just be since I had to sit out 2 days that I was more aware, but this was probably one of the best and most fun days of skiing I've had. :) Yay! Well, let me start from this morning. See, last year, I had already grown out of my ski pants but this year I needed a new pair. Well, Mrs. Janet (my step-mom, for those who don't know) found me a pair that was exactly what I wanted! The only problem was they were a bit tight. :/ Oh, well. I wore them anyway and it turned out that it was a good thing because after having on all the underclothes you need to wear to stay warm, my knee was so compressed that, I'm pretty sure, it didn't move.
So we got out to the slopes, (and we literally just walk out to the lift) and rode up the Maggie and waited on the rest of the gang which gave me a chance to take lovely pictures. :) Anyway, so we skied down a green slope to another lift and then we were on Peak 9. (I have a trail map, but some of you may not know what I'm talking about.... Maybe I'll put picture up later.) Anyway, we made it to my favorite slope, Shock. It's a rather short run, but it's still so fun!
We went up another lift and another (I'm not gonna tell the whole story, I promise) and then made it to the T-bar. It was incredibly windy up there!! Almost to where it's hard to breathe. Not even just from the altitude, from the cold wind. Well, we eventually made it to lunch and stayed at the Ten Mile Station for a rest. Then we sort of split a bit and I went with my dad, Mrs. Janet, a few cousins and I think my uncle was there, too, to Peak 10 where I got the last picture. I didn't want to over-do it today so I headed home after maybe 3 or 4 more runs. It was a very good day! :)
Okay, so here is another funny something for you. Remember when I told you that my knee was very compressed? Well, my knee didn't bother me one bit today while I was skiing. I even have proof.
Even the label of the brace made an indention. I thought it was funny.
Okay, here's something for a friend of mine. We were talking on the phone today and we were joking about how we always play a guessing game when we talk. So, here's what you forgot I was excited about and couldn't guess, Malcolm.
Tomorrow, all the girls are going shopping and I'm really excited. I'm hoping to find some cute clothes (on sale) for my senior portraits (which will be taken by the lovely Sara Gatlin. If you don't know her, you should. Her page on Facebook is Sara Gatlin Photography. Go find out what you're missing!!)
I'm gonna call it a night.
