This past weekend was Valentine's Day weekend and it was possibly one of the most fun weekends I've had in a really long time! Friday started out with our usual round of golf at the Furman golf course. A few friends and I have started a Friday tradition of walking nine holes after class. Its a great way to relax, hang out and enjoy the start of the weekend. Friday night was filled with a great dinner cooked by some of the girls, followed by star gazing and just spending time with one another. Saturday, instead of spending it with the significant other (which there is none), my friend Cary and I decided to head up into the mountains of North Carolina to stay the night at my recently completed mountain house. On the way to the mountains, we got a call from some other friends who had decided at the last moment to take a ski trip at a local ski hill about 45 minutes away from my house. Cary and I decided to tag along for the evening!
Let me tell you, skiing on the East Coast is completely different than the West! As Cary always says, "Real men ski on ice." Which I came to find out wasn't true at all. Apparently real men ski on slush. It was about 40 degrees on the "mountain" and all the snow was melting. The lifties were trying everything in their power to keep the snow on the slopes. Cary hadn't been skiing in six years, however he managed not to fall once which was pretty darn commendable. While the Sugar Mountain ski hill wasn't as invigorating as those in Alaska and the West Coast, it was great to hit the slopes nonetheless!
Besides the fact that I finished the weekend by studying for an accounting test, I had an absolute blast!
