First off, stoked to write my first entry with RMU, and I hope for many more!

I’ll start off with Friday night, the 7th.

It hadn’t really hit me yet that I needed to pack a bag to go skiing.

Back home in Michigan, skiing starts in late November, or early December…If we are lucky.

So, to be honest, I was a little shocked.

Then, dawn came on Saturday the 8th.

Well, not literally, it was still dark out.

But I popped out of bed with ease because I knew what I had ahead of me.

I literally was in awe.

I knew that today was going to be the best day ever.

And, it was.

I got off, took my first run, with many stops for breaths and laughing.

One in particular, included a lip, with about a 15 foot drop over a huge hole.

Will got me to hit it without scoping, and sure enough, I knuckled the hole and tomahawked.

Once I stood up, snow covered, I knew that season had officially started.

The season has started here in CO!

Get out and enjoy it!

I apologize for not having many photos; I was too stoked to be skiing!
