My first skiing experience at Eldora Ski Resort!
I've been to the snow on countless occasions back home but I've never taken the opportunity to ski. Last night, Todor and I went to the Flatirons Mall to grab some last minute equipment for our trip early this morning. I got some waterproof pants and some goggles that had to be superwide to fit over my glasses. So this morning there was a little miscommunication about what time we had to be at Boulder Station and I called Todor and he was still in bed. Long story short, we all ended up getting to Eldora at the same time.
Fitting the ski's and the boots was painful. They felt so uncomfortable for me but you get used to them. So as we got outside, Melwyn was teaching some basic stuff to Todor on the snowboard and Gaby was helping me with my skiing. Eventually, we got up to the mountain and started doing the real stuff. I fell a few times as expected but after a few runs I was feeling pretty confident. I did have a pretty bad fall though when my ski tip got stuck in the snow and I tumbled a few metres down the hill. It was apparently hilarious though. Todor had some spectacular falls also, but I only managed to grab a little one on video. So actions speak louder than words so here are some pictures and videos.

Gaby is the best ski instructor

Another church adventure in Denver
On Wednesday evening, Sophie really wanted to go out and party so Todor and I went writing on people's whiteboards in Hallett to get people to come. We only expected for Sophie, Me, Todor, Chris and Anastasiya to come but it seems that a lot more people got the message and Terry, Pat, Alexis and Spencer came along for the ride also. So on Thursday evening, everyone started getting ready and we left Boulder in 3 cars. After weaving in and out of traffic we finally got to chilly Denver. The Church was pretty dead when we got there, but it quickly picked up. I will leave you with some highlights of the night and you can also visit the gallery here.

We were pretty much the only people on the dance floor at that time
