Weekend on the Ridge

This last weekend Taylor and I were able to hit the slopes at Mission Ridge. It was a blast! There was a lot of new, untouched snow. We were some of the first people up there so we had some amazing rides. It was windy, snowing, and freezing cold so I was miserable on the lifts but once we got riding I warmed up pretty quick. I also discovered how out of shape I am... Uhhgg. Taylor took up his new toy (a contour video camera) and shot some sweet videos. We made a cool video that's a couple minutes long. I'm going to post the link below and put it on our home page. I got tired really fast, I can not believe how much energy and strength that sport takes! At the end of the day on the last run I fell a couple times because my legs would not and could not move!!! We were both sore the next morning...

We also went to Leavenworth with Taylor's family to walk around the shops and see the lighting up there. I must say that after you have been to Leavenworth more than a few times, you have seen enough. I was not very impressed with the lighting show. There were a ton of people there for just two seconds of turning on lights. I remember the lights coming on in order by store and then flashing to music or something, this time was not impressive at all. But it was still a fun time hanging out with Taylor's family! We went to lunch at Visconti's, swimming at the hotel and we also hung out at my families house for a little while. I also found some delicious almonds at a little shop in Leavenworth, they were delicious!!!
