The snow almost kept us from going skiing!

This past Thursday Chris and I decided to make the three hour drive to Killington, VT to go skiing. We knew that the skiing would be good on Thursday because the forecast said that Killington was going to get around 8 inches of snow on Wednesday night and Thursday. Well, what we encountered as we neared Killington was not what we expected. The picture below says it all.

Yes, that is A LOT of snow and yes, we drove our NOT 4-wheel drive car in this. In addition to the fun of just staying on the road, there just so happened to be an exciting little hill at the start of Killington Road that we almost didn't make it up. If the scraper hadn't come up the hill shortly after we started up, we were going to have to head home. : ( Needless to say, Chris was not happy. Driving in the snow was extremely stressful for him. After nearly 3 and 1/2 hours in the car, we finally arrived at the mountain, rented our skis and headed up to the top to start skiing.

The mountain was absolutely perfect for skiing. I am not the best skier but the fresh powder on the mountain made me a little more confident than I would have been otherwise. It was a great day on the mountain! Unfortunately, we didn't get to ski on Friday because the temperature was going to feel like -13 degrees, and that isn't something we wanted to feel so we headed home. Below is the only picture of Chris and I that I took at the start of Easy Street, my favorite run at Killington.

Yes, it snowed on us all day.

So pretty at the top!

One small portion of the mountain on Friday morning. Can't wait to go back!
