We arrived in Denver, Colorado after an hour flight to Dallas and then a connecting flight to Denver that was two hours.
Needless to say, we were worn out.
We then rode a two-hour shuttle to Breckenridge and immediately went to the grocery store to buy food for the week. Pro tip: make and bring sandwiches for the slopes, so you don't have to buy meals at the restaurants because they can be very pricey. The first day my friends and I decided to skip ski school and try it out on our own.
This is not a good idea.
We somehow ended up on a blue/ black slope and ski patrol had to come to save us with the sled. We decided to stick to greens for the rest of the trip! For dinner, all of our friends have been hitting the town and trying out different restaurants.
So far, the food has been AMAZING! The only problem we have had this trip is cold. Let me tell you, the temperature is about -15 degrees usually and we are not having it. Our Mississippi blood was not made for this snow. We look like marshmallows with the number of layers we have on, it's honestly hilarious.
Tonight the lifestyle tours are offering us the chance to go see Rich the Kid ( you know the guy who sings plug walk) that is included in our trip! Is that not the coolest thing ever? We also get to ski for three days as apart of the package which is so awesome. It may not seem like a lot, but trust me, skiing wears you out. At this point, I'm hoping I have lost my freshman fifteen with how much it has worked me out! You can also buy the optional fourth day to ski, but my friends and I decided we want to go exploring the town and buying Christmas presents for our family.
The lodge we are staying at is also perfect because it includes a kitchen, bed, pullout couch, and balcony. This is great for me and the other three girls I'm staying with. The lodge also has a lift a block away so we can immediately go skiing and it even includes a sauna and hot tub. Talk about a great deal!
This trip has been such a bonding experience for me and my friends and has been such an out of comfort thing for us. Being from the south, we don't get to do this sort of thing every day, so this trip is an awesome getaway! I highly recommend doing the ski trip for MSU students because at the rate that this trip has gone I will be attending the other 3 years of college!
