~:[CH3 - Day 338]:~ On The Slopes

Today was a wonderful day. After waking up to the melody of alarms that continued to play over and over, we woke up and drove over to Park City. After grabbing our rentals, we headed up to the slopes and took two lifts up to the to top of the mountain (for today). We didn't realize how long the run would be, but it ended up taking about 45 minutes to an hour roundtrip. My body was killing me after that run and I struggled to shake off the rust of the skiing on a real mountain as I put the snowboarding days behind me. There are actually a lot more skiers up here than boarders. After making it down, I took a rest for a run, then headed up for my second run which turned into a run and a half, as we hit the bottom of another lift and took it back up. The rust shed and I made it down a little bit easier but not quite the way I imaged the whole run to be. I guess I need to work on that a bit more. It was nice up there though and much better than skiing locally in California, which is the only place I have been recently aside from the summer mini-slope in the Alps. Before we left, we rode on the Alpine Sled, which ended up being pretty cool and fun. Didn't think it would be as fast as it was! We stopped off at Bruges Waffles and Frites. It was a hoot and the foot wasn't too bad either. The fries were pretty tasty with all the dipping sauces. We hit up the airport and since my flight was so late, I stuck around at my friend's gate until she left before coming to my gate hear to wait for mine. I hope my flight is on time and all goes well for the rest of the day, as if it does, today will end up being such a fabulous day even with the soreness and cramping.
