  SNL Weekend Update 1/15/2006

  Today was a pretty shit day for skiing.  I mean we had fun in the
  morning, but I have to say it was not the best.  It started out
  okl.

  So last night we had this other family join us in the House that we are
  renting.  Noah’s best friend, Sol, joined us for day 2 and they
  were going to learn to do some complex ski moves, which is beetter than
  what I can do.

  But anyway, we started off with 6 kids and 5 adults having breakfast
  under one kitchen.  I eventually became last inline for breakfast
  cause everyone woke up before I did.  The bed I am sleeping in is
  hard and uncomfortable.  I normally like harder beds but this one
  just sucks.  And for a person who was sore all day and night, this
  bed just didn’t work like mine at home does.

  So anyway, Sol’s family had to run off early to rent skis and stuff
  before the 9:30 lesson so they went out earlier in the moring.  We
  spent a total of 15mins getting up the hill yesterday between hopping
  on the shuttle and getting to lodge.  So we were like ok, lets
  give 40mins today cause today is Martin Luther King weekend.

  Turns out, it took over an hour to get up there, cause the first
  shuttle that arrived was full and we had to wait a full 30mins again
  for the second one kinda annoying. 

  But the nice thing was that it was snowing this morning, and it was so
  beautiful.  I mean I looked out and all I saw was white. 
  This is the first White Christmas I have ever had in my entire
  life.  Though Christmas is past, the first Winter Holiday with
  lots of snow… It was nice.

  So anyway, we get Noah to the Ski lodge at around 10:10, but Thank God
  his lesson lasts 3 hours.  So he missed some stuff but he still
  has over 2 hours of his lesson left so that was cool.  The three
  youngest kids stayed at home and the 6th kid had his own group skiing
  lesson.

  Complex right.  All you had to know was that, the rest of the
  Adults got to Ski for 2.5 hours until the kids all finish their
  lessons.  But as we were skiing, it started to snow harder. 
  It didn’t stop from the morning and it got up to a point where, Vince,
  Sol’s Dad was like this is pretty much blizzard.  Which is real,
  cause I almost hurt some people, on my way down my fourth run of the
  hill.

  Yep, I did four runs today and you know what?  I only fell once the last time down.  It was pretty awesome.

  But when we all met up it was snowing so hard and the kids were so cold
  that we ended up having to go back down and go home.  Which I was
  pretty sad about because I was doing so well up unitl that point. 
  I even could ski without the poles, and took a video of my going
  downhill.  Not bad for my second day eh?

  So we head back down, and decided to stop by and get somethign to eat
  before we head home.  At the base of the Mountain, there is this
  place called The Village, and it is in majoy development, so there is
  nothing.  Except for a snobby sit down restaurant and a Burrito
  and Wrap place.

  So naturally we went to the Burrito and Wrap place.  But you know
  what, They fucking sucked.  The food when we eventually got it was
  not bad.  It was actually quite good, but we had to line up for an
  hour and a half for the food.  They were so slow.  And there
  was a large line.  they only had two guys makin burritos, and some
  people had multiple orders.

  A whole fucking ski lodge and there is only one  restaurant. 
  What the fuck? It was the dumbest thing I have ever heard.  I was
  like you have to be fucking kidding me.  And then we eventually
  found out that the place had only opened today.  Today was their
  first day of business.  How dumb can you get.  You mean
  before this, there was only one sit down restaurant that noone could
  fucking get into.

  Whoe the hell designed a Ski resort that had no food.  You would
  think that is the firs thting they would think of if they were going to
  attract tourists.  And then to top it off, after we got home guest
  what.  Ther ewas a fucking staple in my food.  I’m also glad
  I found it too cause it was a large staple.  the kind they use to
  keep cardboxes together.  It was fucking scary.  If that went
  down my stomach I don’t know what I would be doing.

  Hell the rest of the day was kinda slow.  We jsut sat around and
  watched the NFL playoffs, and I have to say that I am starting to like
  that game, though football is far superior sport to me still. 
  But, BTW Machester Unted lost away 3-1 at Manchester City… Fucking
  Man City…

  So this low key night ended well, with a great Korean style Chicken
  dinner cooked in part by Me and my Sister.  And then some more TV
  watching… All in a ll a dissappointing day but still, it ended better.
