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.

From the photos it looks like you had a lot of fun. Do you mind me asking which resort this is?
Thanks.
Yes, @techwizardry, it was a blast. The resort is Schweitzer Ski Resort.
Hi my dear gringa! These shots so beautiful, i like to play ski in the mountain, in Morocco 🇲🇦 we have a city call it ifran, it's like this, so nice.
That's is so good to hear @creativewoman. Thanks so much for your continued support
wow super amazing pics you seem to have enjoyed your time :)
Thanks for sharing your experience :D
Thanks so much for your continued support @blazing. I really appreciate your comments
its an absolute pleasure keep making awesome posts like you always do all the best :) and merry Christmas
Awe! I love the pics of you and your sis! Looks like you two had a fantastic time at Schweitzer with your cuz, aunt, and parents!
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!!!

Beautiful photos Gring!
Thanks so much @tamsguitar. I hope you're encouraged in steemit right now? It is an exciting time to be a part
So glad to see y'all had fun @gringalicious. No worries, I think hopping off a ski lift is pretty scary too ;)
LOL, yeah, it was comical for those watching, I am sure. I felt like Buddy at Macy's at the escalator. Great commenting @denisechips
Thanks @gringalicious! And I always appreciate an Elf reference ;)
Looks like a fun day on the slopes! I can't wait to hit the mountains this year. My little brother @bryanjagoe is currently working the chairlifts up at Jay Peak in Vermont, I need to get up there and visit sooooon!
very cool, I want to visit Vermont. I have not been there yet.
Safe skiing when you go!!
You should definitely put it on the list. Vermont is one of my favorite states. Not only do they have some of the best skiing in the country but they also have some of the best country stores with delicious foods!
Great photos.... upvoted be careful on those ski lifts....
Thanks so much for the well wishes and the compliment @shadflyfilms
Felix navidad!
Cheers!!!

Yesterday was a good day for skiing. I was at 49 all day and had a blast. I keep meaning to get to Schweitzer in winter, I've only run the trail race there in July. Hopefully this winter will be epic so we can have skiing into May.
Merry Christmas @flamingfarm! Thanks!
Great pictures. Looks a lot like Canada! I'd say break a leg, but....don't! :)
Thanks so much @sgtechservices. I only fell a couple of times and it was when I didn't have skis on, too funny
Really great photos! :) Glad to see you having so much fun :)
Thanks so much @herverisson. It was a blast.
And, I hope you're having fun on steemit at the moment. Good times

STEEM ON!!
Fantastico!! Me gusta mucho tus fotos!!
estoy muy feliz, mi hermana
STEEM ON!
What a beautiful day. I love your photos
It was so much fun. thanks so much for helping make it all possible
Wow now I say for the first time different kind of pictures, as food from you. And I like them just the same! 50mm is a must have lens.. but I don't have it :( ... yet ;)
Do what you can to obtain the 50mm, it's amazing. It isn't good for small spaces as you need to stand far back for the subject, but if have the right amount of space, it is amazing!!
Yes I know.. And it performs well for close portraits ;)
beautiful photography :)
Thanks so much @crazy3

Looks beautiful! Looks fun but I am not a skier. I am not that graceful...I know I would break a leg! LOL!. I know my limits. Great pics.
My Dad would agree with you on knowing your limits. Although, he says he is going to give it a try before the season is out.
Thanks so much for commenting @tesscooks4u
I love snow falling and watching from my place.I can see the mountains covered with snow.It is nice and really refreshing like your photos.

I am thrilled that my post inspired memories, thanks so much for telling me @johnnyray
That ski resort looks amazing! I really like the picture you took looking back on the ski lift with the person in the chair behind you! We got snow here on the mountain as well! YEP we have a small ski resort in Tucson believe it or not! There isn't enough snow to ski yet though.
wow, how high is that peak in Tucson? It must be really high in order to get snow. Thanks so much for commenting and keep dunking!!
The scenery is very beautiful, you are also very interesting and beautiful .. Christmas is always in indentik with snow ...

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!
You are welcome for the support. I may have said this before, but I really want people to see that they can explore outside their borders. One of the greatest experiences and perhaps the very best education one can get.
