Well if you follow me on instagram, I probably blew up your news feed near the end of last week and over the weekend.  Joe and I were skiing at Snowshoe, West Virginia.  boy do i love that place!  Every year is always a new challenge, whether it's a wind chill below zero, tons of snow, snow drought, rain + fog or even t-shirt weather we always have a great time!  always a story to tell...  This year was my first year going down a double black diamond!  nope no snow licking...  in other words I didn't eat any snow coming down the double black.  I would have gone down it last year, however, with the snow drought of 2012 the double black diamonds weren't open.

2013 Snow Licking Count

Amanda - 1

Joe - 4*

*The husband gets an asterisk by his name as he is a super skier.  He may do a lot more dumb things skiing that I do to fall.  By dumb I mean go 84+ mph down a slope.  no joke!  I have an app on my phone called Ski Tracks which clocks your speed among many other things.  Oh and my speed, it's about half of that.  Joe would consider it snail pace, I just call it safe.
