I know I have made plenty of posts about skiing this Winter but I felt the desire to post about it again as I will be doing at minimum three more days this stay.

I don't know how to exactly describe my love for the sport, but I feel like skiing and chickens are my life. Today was great, my cousin has friends that are up here skiing while he works, odd. Actually, fun, we raced down the groomed area, and tore the mogals. I was by far the youngest, the next closest in age to me is my cousin who is 18, and the other guys are 20, along with the adults. We had a blast trying to show off and racing down the groomed areas after the run. I managed to mess one thing up, we were all planning to go down at the same time and I ruined it my crashing.
Tomorrow I might be skiing with a friend or my cousin won't be working so I can probably go with he and his friends along with our family to go crazy on the mougals.
Well if today was a sample of my 4 day ski trip then it is going to be amazing.

We love skiing
We usually go to WV every year
Of course nothing here is even close to what you have in Colorado
Rachel got new ski bibs, boots and coat for Christmas
We are planning a trip for Feb but no ski weather here now
None of the NC slopes are even open
Maybe I'll spring for air fare and we will go out west
I've been to A couple of resorts in UT before

Cool. I am realizing how alike we are. I have never skied out of Colorado, and I think it will drive me insane with the trails not being as good as they are in Colorado being that we get very spoiled from mother nature. That said someday I will probably go to UT

Well, lets see if I can finish this by the end of the year, it could be hard I only have 20 minutes left.

2015 has been a great year. I will go my month and list what contributed to making it worth so many memories.
Note- as I am writing this I am realizing that some of the things earlier in the year I have forgotten

January
-Stock Show was a blast, despite what happened to my Speckled Sussexes

February
-I skied in the time away from school a lot
-Telluride was a blast, despite the BAD sunburn
- After more then two years my Hamster Oreo passed away in my hands
-I made a couple really bad mistakes on BYC due to the depression starting in me

March
- My best friend came home after a few years in England

April
-My amazing cousin made it to ski patrol barely by a half point (same amount his friend missed it)

May
-I celebrated another year of life
-I won the cake decorating contest

June
-School finished

-I joined BYH

July

-Despite Pumpkin not having been well the night before I won my first Belt Buckle on Showmanship
- I managed to complete Round Robin Showmanship
-I got to spend a week with my amazing cousins

August

September

-After all our hard work Pumpkin oddly passed on Halloween

November
-Ski season started again
-Thanksgiving was so much fun

December

-I got to see my favorite cousin as much as I will the rest of the year
-Christmas came and the best part was Secret Santa

Okay, I missed it. I was around November when the year started, oh well. 2015 was amazing but lets see what 2016 has to offer.

So I'm lazy because I'm about to start a thread about it but I'm really excited for Stock Show. My sick chicken will go because all her friends are. My chicken harness has started to work really well.
