Well what an incredible weekend we had! Kit and I left with our friends Bret and Yulia after work on Thursday evening and made the 2 hour drive to Woodstock NY.
Once we arrived at the house we had a teeny set back with locking both the house and car keys INSIDE the house! Yes, we managed to lock it all inside while we were outside in the freezing snow.
After a little bit of panic and getting the cell phone to work on 1 bar, we got in touch with Yulia's mom and found the very well hidden spare key. Thank goodness!
Day 1:
We made the drive to Hunter Mountain and I lost my virginity to skiiing!!! Wahoo.
After some tense training with Kit on the bunny hill , Bret, Yulia and Kit finally managed to force me up the lift to do my first run.
My first 10 yards or so were spent with me still trying to do the 'pizza' with my ski's and then falling down or being stopped from falling by Kit or Bret.
Then I started to go again this time really gaining speed quite quickly and I thought " screw it... it's now or never!" so I just kept going and made it all the way down the mountain! WITHOUT FALLING!
Wahoooooo
Kit then recorded my second run :) See below

Day 2: Involved some really fun sledding action on the big sledding hill in Woodstock. It's incredible how much fun this is! And free! I must admit I am kinda hooked now and really want to find a place to go when it snows in NYC.
Thanks to our hosts and for Bret and Yulia for inviting us.
Plenty of snow, sitting in front of the fire, wine, pool, games, skiing, sledding, laughing and some amazing dinners!
We shall return soon....
