I had to wake up at 5:30am and walk early in the freezing morning to the ORC on campus. I waited for about 30 min till everything was loaded and then it was time to go. I rode in a van for 3 hours and a half next to a married couple (really close to the husband), hitting my head on a little bum on the window, and not sleeping a wink. Then we arrived! :) 
It was like I had arrived in Heaven, golden gates, gold toilets, and waiters! It was beautiful and amazing. Definitely my kind of ski resort! I had no idea what I was gonna do because I had never done it alone. But I thought I would just wing it. But then I noticed, I didn't even know how to put on the skis! And right then my friend Matt came out the doors! He offered to hang with me and teach me the ropes. We went up the easiest slope in the mountain, but it was still really hard. I kept falling and running into the edge of the hill, face planting it into a pile of snow.
But don't worry that didn't get me down. I kept my head up all the way to the baby hills. ") I let Matt go ahead and enjoy his time at the big slopes and I continued to work my way up on the baby slopes. I felt funny getting in line behind 5 year olds and 3 year olds, but it was really fun. At the end of the day I got back in the car (front seat.. no more married couple or bumping) I arrived in Rexburg safe and sound.. After 5 hours of driving.. after getting lost and being in pain from basically doing a slit one time when i fell, a headache from falling, and insanely happy from having made a new memory!!! 
Ps. My family is thinking of going to sun valley for the Christmas Vacation. One word... SWEET!!!
