Last week James booked tickets for our ski trip. Its actually a business trip as some clients are going with us. It should be a fun trip. We are going to the Park Hyatt in Beavercreek, CO. They do what they call "technique week". The package includes room, 4 days of skiing (lift passes, boot and ski rentals), breakfasts, some apres ski and dinners, gifts in the room, and INSTRUCTION! Instruction is the best part. James has been to Technique Weeks a couple times. He took me with him in 2005 (seems forever ago). I had never skied before and after our first day on the slopes, didn't think I would again (we went out 2 days early with James's mom and boyfriend - husband now). James was very patient with me and helped me down many slopes. (I guess it was true love! ;) ) Luckily I was the only "beginner" (well there was another one, but she took private lessons) in the group and ended up with my own instructor. It was wonderful. I can't believe how much I improved in 4 days and how much I enjoyed skiing. I was going down blues before we were done and the instructor said if he had a couple more days with me, he would have me down blacks....I was impressed with myself......so fast forward 3 years and we're going again...I have not skied since that trip, so will probably end up in the beginner group again, but hopefully it will come back to me quickly!
We're going in mid December and I am hoping to save enough vacation days to take off the rest of the month!
I'll be sure to post pictures after the trip.
