It wasn't long after finishing my 30 before 30 list before I got to work checking the first goal off: try skiing for the first time!
I feel like whenever someone goes skiing/snowboarding, it is always some kind of magical winter fairy tale experience. At least, that’s what Instagram is telling me. This is NOT what happened the first time I went skiing last month.
(Ok disclaimer - this post contains a lot of complaints and things that went wrong. I promise there is a good morale of the story. I just happen to be a huge whiner.)
