Today we got to visit the most beautiful resort, Alyeska! It snowed a lot last night so the roads were terrible on the way there. Thanks goodness we have awesome drivers who made it so we got there safely. Today was the first time that I have ever tried snowbaording and now I am completely hooked. I can't wait for next winter to come around so I can get a season pass and practice lots to become a professional :) Just kidding, but I do want to get a lot better though! To me, being able to say that my first time snowboarding was on a mountain is pretty dang cool! After snowbaording we rode a tram all the way up to the tippy top of the mountain. The view was incredible and I know everyone is saying this but pictures truly cannot capture the beauty of this place. This is the first time being here where I wanted to say that I was not boarding the plane to go back to Minnesota. I would live here in a heart beat. It's so peaceful and I am feeling like I am starting to find myself again from underneath all the stress and fatigue that life has been giving me these past couple years. My mind feels refreshed and it's an awesome feeling.
