Today I had quite an eventful day. My mom decided that she wanted to go skiing today. Personally, I prefer snowboarding over skiing. Since we both typically wake up early, we had plenty of time to get ourselves ready and hit the road. We went to the Appalachian Ski Resort near Boone, it was about an hour in a half long drive. We arrived shortly after it opened and skied / snowboarded the slopes until late afternoon. While we were there, the resort had a real competition on slalom and freestyle skiing / snowboarding. It was really impressive to see how fast and high some of those athletes could jump into the air. since it was getting pretty late, we headed back home. We got home pretty late in the evening which meant I only had a little bit of time to do my requirements. I managed to do all that needed to be done. I am exhausted and ready to hit the hay. - Lucas
