Skiing in West Virginia

Over spring break I had the opportunity to go with our church youth group to Snowshoe, West Virginia to do some skiing. It was a lot of fun. The weather was sunny, so it felt warm while we were on the mountain. There was LOTS of snow - the most they have had in a really long time! So between those two things and the great goup of kids we had - it was a great time! I hadn't been skiing in about 7 or 8 years, but it's just like riding a bike.... you don't really forget. I ski alot slower than the kids do, but that's OK. They just waited for me at the bottom of the slopes! :-)I was actually worried about hurting myself if I went too fast - I don't really like feeling out of control!
The worst part of the whole trip was driving there and back. We left Friday night about 7:00 and drove to Knoxville - about a 6 hour drive, plus a 1 hour time change, so it was about 2:00am when we arrived. We slept at a church and then got up about 6:30 on Saturday and drove the rest of the way - another 7 hours. After checking into our condos and renting out ski equipment, we went to the tubbing hill for about 1 hour and 1/2. That was a BLAST!!!
Then we skiied all day and night on Sunday and Monday. Got up early on Tuesday morning and drove 15 hours straight back to Memphis. A VERY LONG TRIP!!! But it was well worth it. I was on spring break last week, so I didn't have to miss any school.
I would definitely go again if I had the chance. :-)
