If you follow along and read my posts, you know that Troy, my 10 year old son, and I headed up to Reno, Nevada to do some quality time in the snow. You can read the post here. We came back yesterday, because my oldest son Luke turned 14 years old.

Snow Skiing is a great sport!

Here are the five things I love about Snow Skiing at Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe. If your interested in checking out the Mt. Rose website, go here. Of course I learned how to ski years ago, and then actually did not ski for about 15 years (my married life), but I am back at it and loving it. #snowboardingnotsomuch

1. The views are beautiful! It’s Tahoe’s highest base elevation at 8260.
2. It is a great workout and you can go easy or go hard! The terrain variety is perfect for beginners and advanced skiers.
3. The Resort is Small to Medium size and the parking is close by. I don’t know about you, but when I’m skiing with a kid or alone, I don’t want a to go to a huge ski resort.
4. The Ski School and Snow Area for newbies is outstanding.
5. The prices are right and they even have FREE bag check! #freeisawesome

I hope you enjoy this video of Troy Skiing.

Starting the New Year a Little Slow!

My youngest son Troy and I headed up to the snow on the 1st to do some skiing and have some quality time…hence, my short post. We spent the day skiing and snowboarding and will be back at it tomorrow. What a way to start the New Year! Reno, Nevada has been sunny and beautiful and the snow is just perfect.

The Best of 2018!

This Year was a BIG one for me. BIG can be scary, but BIG can also be good and that makes it the best. Three things in my personal life stand out and I am so thankful for all of my friends and family for their support; my divorce finalized, I started a new business (a lifelong dream of mine) and I moved out to the Woods!

Skiing down the mountain today really reminded me how much I have had to lean into fear and it’s okay. Usually after a few beginner trails, I start to get a little crazy and think I can hit the big slopes.

I had to remind myself all year; “I’ve got this! I can follow my dreams and be successful!” It’s scary and sometimes very difficult to shut the voices in my head. But that’s where leaning into the fear comes in.

I wrote a post about Brene Brown’s Book, “Braving the Wilderness” a while back and it’s a good one to start the year with. You can read that post here.

As Brene says, “I believe that you have to walk through vulnerability to get to courage, therefore . . . embrace the suck.” You might enjoy checking out her website and subscribing to her blog here.

We will be skiing and snowboarding again tomorrow and I’m sure I’ll need to lean into the fear just to get down the mountain. I love skiing, but I really hate going too fast and falling down in the snow, especially towards the end of the day when I’m tired. But the beauty of the mountains is something I cannot resist.

I’ll be back in the next couple days for some fun projects and diy’s.

What was your Best of 2018! Leave a comment and let me know.
