Ski Day on Schweitzer Mountain! - Gringa Adventures Series

gringalicious (78) in photography • 7 years ago (edited)

Hey Steemians! Who's excited about being only a week away from Christmas today????

I know, me too! So I'm finally sharing the photos from my ski day with my whole family of steemians this past weekend. My sister @fullofhope got her own snowboard and it was her first time trying it. Go check out her post about it if you want - > Snowboarding- First time!

My cousin @hotrod went skiing with me too and @mamaloves, @lifes-a-donut and @noboxes were there snapping photos.

There are a lot of photos of me on skis but, haha, I realize it's hard o prove it's me with the whole face protection get-up, but I have a few bumps and bruises to prove it. Although, now that I think of it, it would be a lot more flattering to share a photo of some random professional skier and say it was me because my skills are very much in development to be honest.

Hey, I didn't do anything too stupid or clumsy. I will say that ski lifts give me anxiety now though. Not the height, but the getting off. Don't tell anyone but they had to stop it for me the first time because I forgot to jump off fast enough.

Well I hope you're all having a beautiful start to this last week up till Christmas! Have a great one, Steemians!

ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST.

And, by the way, to all the minnows out there, my intro post did a huge $0.21. The key to success on Steemit is to be consistent and persistent.

Oh, and don't forget to follow me on all your favorite social media channels!

Thanks.

I can't believe how late our snow is this year, but better late than never I suppose, lol! I think my crew and a bunch of other homeschoolers will be hitting the slopes at Silver Mountain in a couple weeks, your fantastic post made me full of anticipatory glee!!

We've been looking at Silver Mountain, actually because of one of your earlier posts I think. We'd like to give it a go. We might book a few rooms and let the whole gang go. Some can ski while others swim. Sounds like a great combo and great opportunity.

Do you think we'll have a white Christmas? It's snowing as I type, but I am afraid it is going to melt

So sorry I took forever to get back to you! Thanks to all of that unexpected snow, my power was off all night, lol! Got some much needed sleep cause of it though, so total win there!

We got well over an additional foot of snow here, so I am betting you guys are a bit buried too! I think a white Christmas is pretty much a guarantee here.

And I totally think that you all will have a blast at Silver Mountain, it's got everything to have fun in the snow and the faux sun:o)! Hope to see a post about your adventures there very soon!!!

This is the only thing I miss about living in up-state NY in the winters! Totally reminds me of my childhood. Great post and you got me thinking of a ski trip...... maybe next year :)

I don't think I've seen snow in over 10 years or more now. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw snow...lol Did you go sking in Chili? I know that's a possibility.

On another note. I just finished writing up a real good letter of recommendation for you regarding the @sndbox nomination.

all you have to do is go here.

https://www.sndbox.co/contact

and fill out the form by the end of the month. But I'd recommend doing it sooner than later.

Hope you're having a great day! Looking forward to seeing you as a fellow member of the sndbox!

I did not ever go skiing in Chile, although, as you say, it is available. In fact, they have some great slopes. However, the gear in Chile is stupid expensive and transporting it down from the states is also stupid expensive, so no, I never took the opportunity. But, I hope to make up for it now in Northern Idaho. We have two great places to go, the one included in this post and the other is Silver Mountain.

Thanks a bunch for the sndox nomination. I've been watching the project and I've really wanted to participate. I completed the form, we'll see what happens.

We'll be talking soon!

Thanks for the tip. I had sking in Chili in the back of my mind for ummmm the past 4 four years now! I'm probably better off flying to Northern Idaho. I sure hope they bring you in to the sndbox group. They are some serious business people running that thing. I'm part of the 100 members and I'm just learning what they are all about now.

Lot's to do, so little time! Good thing I'm no longer in transit. No travel activities going to be happening the next few weeks. Has me down and little bit, but at the same time it feels good to get and stay ontop of things, and earn all this $$$$ while the the SBD and Steem is exploding.

Youre up-votes/ support have really been a game changer for me in the motivation department. I owe you a debt of gratitude, hopefully it comes in the form of a sand box! Have a great day/evening! -Dan

Totally agree with you. I've learned more through travel than any schooling I've ever had X 10. Better yet I've washed off such ugly brainwashing, social conditioning, and propaganda it's hard to believe.

When I come back home people can't believe how well spoken and intelligent I am. They think I'm not from the states anymore! lol Cheers to you Gringa! Merry Christmas!
