Luke has been trying to get me to go skiing with him since the day we met. I thought what a better date in January! Luke loves snowboarding. He would go every day if he could.
Since this was my first time skiing, and Luke has never skied before he came up with us both taking a lesson then we would have a chance to spend the day together instead of me taking a lesson and him snowboarding.
We had so much fun learning something new to the both of us.
We left Scottsbluff at 3am. Drove up to Copper Mountain and got checked in for our lesson and fitted for our skis. Our lesson was from 9:00-12:30. We learned the basics, went up a lift and skied down a little "hill."
When we were practicing turning and downing down in the practice area I thought "this is easy and so fun. Lets do down the mountain now." The time came to use the lift and go up the mountain. It was a lot harder then I expected. I couldn't figure out how to stop and just fell over. Going fast and not being able to stop is a little scary. Luke did great. He now loves skiing and can't wait to go again.
We went to Fort Collins to pick up our dogs from doggie day camp and ate Panera for dinner.
It was a very fun but long and tiring day. I will go again, but don't think I could make a hobby of it. Practice makes perfect!
These dates are so much fun and this was only the first one! Can't wait for February's date
