Skiing and living in the South

Living in Charlottesville means that I don’t get much of a real winter.  Not like NY, not even like NJ.  It does get cold, into the 20s sometimes even, but there isn’t a lot of snow.  When it does snow it doesn’t stick around.

Strangely, I am closer to a ski resort than I was when I lived in NJ.  Wintergreen is about 45 minutes away from home and even closer to work.  Yet, I haven’t been there at all this year.

The biggest reason is that the place gets soo crowded. If I had more opportunities to play hookie from work I would go. If it wasn’t $65 for a weekend day pass… Sorry, I’ll save my money and ski somewhere worth going to.

We went to Telluride over Christmas, I skied four gorgeous days in a row (two snowy, two sunny)  and I have not been on the snow since.

But now we are headed to Davis, WV and will ski at Canaan Valley or Timberline with some friends up there.  I’m excited.

I'm a 30-something year old girl originally from upstate NY and now living in central Virginia. My background is in mechanical engineering and I worked full time as an engineer for 8 years. In 2010 I quit my job and started a laser engraving business.

I lost my hearing at age 14 and have been using hearing aids since then. In April 2009 I received my first cochlear implant. That went really well so in December 2009 I got the second. The CIs are what prompted me to start writing publicly - but I try to cover other things as well.
