Ohio's first and Finest...



So with all this snow last week, we had to hit up Snow trails. Self Proclaimed 'Ohio's first and finest' ski area. As we pulled up I commented that this is the type of place where Skiing in Jeans and or Camo is welcomed/accepted. And within an hour of being there I saw a guy skiing in jeans and a Camo Jacket; awesome. What was also awesome was watching a teenage girl skiing with low rise jeans. What was not so awesome was when getting on a double chair solo, I asked this lady on skis if I could ride up the lift with her. She told me No! she doesn't trust snowboarders. What does trust have to do with sharing a ski lift? I said out loud it is not cool to ride a lift by yourself when there are long lift lines...

With Christy on a snowboard for the 4th time in her career, I switched my bindings to an equal of center and way, way duck (Normally I ride way back of center). I planned on working on ridding switch. It was humbling taking falls and working on switch. We met up with some friends and had a good time. I had never been to this ski area, so I kept my expectations low and was pleasantly surprised. And around 4pm the sun came out and It was awesome!
