WOW! What an amazing weekend.


Our ARC (just a group of students who organize cool stuff) organized a ski trip to Panorama,BC. Me and 4 of my friends signed up to go.

Thursday/Friday
Left Saskatoon at like 7pm. Our bus was actually freezing. The heat wasn't working so we had to suffer a 12hour cold journey. So we eventually get there at like 6am BC time. The 5 of us went to bed and slept til around 10ish. Then we got up and went skiing. It was a really good day to ski. Nice weather ... not too cold and it was sunny. We went to the top of the hill and sat in this little shack and drank hot apple cider for like 1/2 hour lol. It was so fun and relaxing.

At the end of the day we went into the hot tub for a bit. .. great fun. Then Friday night we sat in our condo and played spoons/drank. It was actually a lot of fun. A bit later on we went to the Crazy Horse (the bar). That was fun. You should've seen these old guys dancing - they were just wasted and so bad at dancing lol. Eww and then this old man and lady were grinding ... gross.

Saturday
We must've got up around 10ish again I guess. Then Genevieve went out with Ben (a guy she met there :D) ... Soleil and Nikki went together and Serenity (who is amazing at skiing) and I went out together. We did some black runs ... just went around all over the place really. It was fun but so cold. We stopped every couple of hours if not more often to go inside and warm up. The hill was busier than Friday but not packed. When we came off the hill at the end of the day we went to the hot tub. Amazing feeling ... being so warm when it's so cold out. Then we had pizza and beer for supper lol. Truly ladylike lol.

There was this halfway to summer party that night ... but you had to walk down the hill and back to get there... so we stayed in our condo and drank. A bunch of people came over and it was fun. Oh man some people are so dumb. Everytime I said my name people didn't understand me ... I got called: Foegill, Jew, Jim, and Gin. Grr... lol. At like 3am there were a bunch of random people and we were like um ... can you leave so we can go to bed?! lol, good night though.

Sunday
Sunday was fun/scary/exhillirating (spelling?) all at once lol. Riley asked Serenity and I if we wanted to do a double black run (the absolute hardest lol). Serenity is a ski instructor in AB so she was totally up for it .. and I thought I may as well try it... what's the worst that can happen. So we got to the top of the mountain and I'm looking down this hill and there's a sign that says "Avalanche Warning" lol, ... but I was like screw it ... So we all started going down this hill. Those two were good but I fell lots lol. There was lots of powder so it wasn't sore but it was so tiring and I got so warm lol.

Anyways I had an awesome day and a totally kick ass weekend.
Hope yours was good... leave me some comments on whatcha did lol.

Laters.

P.S. Happy Birthday Katie..!!!
