Yesterday William and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary at Northstar in Tahoe. Our anniversary was actually on the 6th but we had to keep pushing back our snow trip due to; bad weather, no babysitter, and just bad planning. So yesterday we finally got to go. It was so much fun and a ton of work. I have only been in the snow twice in my life and this was my first time snowboarding. The day before we went we rented my gear, and William already owned his own. We left the house about 7am to start our trek to Tahoe.
We got up there at about 9:30 and got a great parking spot and then rode the shuttle into Northstar. I did not realize how big and amazing it actually was until we got there. It is definitely worth the extra money.
We practiced for a while, which I now know I should have practiced more. But I really just wanted to jump into it, I felt I would do better if we just went for it. So we decided to take the trail that lead back to the village so that once we got to the bottom we could have lunch. In reality this trail takes about 15 minutes, it took me an hour and a half. By the time I got to the bottom of this LEVEL 2 hill, my pants were soaked from falling on my butt too much and I had a cantaloupe size bruise.
We made a snowman after one of my bigger falls, I might have needed a little break.
I did eventually get down the hill, but I didn't snowboard. I came up with a new kind of snowboarding. It was called sledding on my snowboard. Which was extremely fun and exhilarating.
After that it was lunch time. It was a great day so we went to our locker and dropped off our jackets and then headed to Mikuni's for lunch.
So after lunch I was pretty sore, so thinking ahead I brought a book, and kicked back and enjoyed the day from one of the couches while William went up and did some more snowboarding.
We headed home at about 4. Overall it was a very long day, but a ton of fun. I really can't wait to go again even if my body is really hating me today.
