$19 ski lift ticket





yea- another wednesday i got to spend with my husband. i am so grateful that he sacrificed his precious day he was supposed to prepare for his sermon for me. So-if you are in the Loma Linda area, come to Calimesa Church for a challenging sermon about religion and politics this Saturday!
Most people who know me know that skiing is my favorite sport. I grew up spending every christmas break in Tahoe. In college, I would ditch school to ski 20-30 times a year. My passion in skiing left me with many adventures: tumbling like a snowball at Dodge Ridge, church ski trips with Amy, saved by three little boys from skiing into a stream at Northstar, many ski teachers like my jr. high teacher Mr. Nelson and my college bud Justin Dye.
For some unlucky reasons: my dad getting older and not enjoying skiing anymore, moving to southern california, meeting a man who doesn't ski often have limited my skiing experiences the past couple years. Therefore, I begged and cried to Isaac to take me skiing at least once this year. So he graciously offered to take me on my day off. Originally, we found on slickdeals that Jeep car dealerships were giving away free lift tickets to Snow Summit. Some dealerships might still offer this, but the Redlands dealership were out.
As we headed out for Big Bear, we fouund a smaller resort called Snow Valley that offered $19 lift tickets on Wednesday. Wow- what a deal, don't you think? Due to the avalanche recently, most of the lifts were closed, but I still was able to have fun for a couple hours. Hey- it was worth the $19 of fun.
