Somehow Sam managed to turn our bike rack into a ski/snowboard rack! 
Sam was not pleased that I asked the strange man walking by to snap our picture.
All our gear!After last year's 8 month winter, Sam and I decided that this year we had better buy season passes to Wolf Mountain, the local place to ski/snowboard. So we bought skis for me, a board for him, and the season passes and what do you know, it is the first time in 8 years that the parks did not open before Thanksgiving! There is absolutely no snow and it has been around 50 degrees. So last Saturday Wolf Mountain blew fake snow down one run. It was about 40 feet wide and the snow was melting quickly because it was so warm, which meant skiing on ice! Beginner (me) skiing on ice = disaster! It was a lot of fun but I definitely embarrassed Sam. They had to stop the lift 4 times for me (yes, 4!), due to the fact that my skis kept getting tangled when I would try to get on the lift. And once they got stuck around a pole next to the chair lift, don't ask how!
Background on Sam: Last year he went boarding once and somehow ripped the hood off his new boarding jacket. Saturday he took his brand new board and and split open the front of it. Luckily we just got him insurance this month...... Anyways we had a blast. I flew down the hill hoping not to crash and Sam had fun doing jumps and pretending like he was going to crash into me.

So, not to be a buzz-kill, but lets look at the facts.
1. You can't get off the ski-lift. Tangled and the incident with the pole.
2. The First time you and sam buy season passes, and the First winter in 8 years the park hasn't opened before Thanksgiving.
3. Sam splits his board. (SAD)
Hmmmm. I think the fates are trying to tell you something...
I disagree with Rachael Jill.
FIGHT IT!
You WILL be a fabulous skier in no time!
The snow WILL come!
Sam can always buy a NEW board! (you're rolling in cash, right?!)
i admire your bravery. Seriously. I remember the first time I skied and boarded I spent most of the day on my butt scooting down the mountain. And the ski lift attendants hated me. You're probably a better skier than I am, and I've been at it since I was 10.
Great outfit and glass, black mafia.
call me someday.
:)
Melissa this was so funny to read...
I love the picture taken by the random man where Sam is scowling and is barefoot!
As for the ski-lift...that is ME everytime I went snowboarding.
