The Most Snow I've Ever Seen

We joined some of our ministry partners just 2 hours north of the city this weekend for some fellowship and skiing. There was a TON of snow. In fact, it snowed every night so we woke up to fresh snowfall every morning. And because it was freezing, we hung out by the wood burning stove every night to thaw out.

Here's Matt and Whitney (our university intern) and me eating an apple.



And here I am scaring this poor girl to death in one of our name games. I got it right, though.



More name games.



Ping pong.



And here's a foggy shot from a little restaurant at the top of a mountain (in Klinovec). My camera was so cold from being outside that it completely fogged up when we got into the warm restaurant.



More name games.



Matt and me (eating again).



Yummy breakfast.



The students gearing up for skiing.



Matt had a little trouble getting his snowboard on. There was something wrong with the binding but, never fear, Adam (buddy from Southwestern) was there to help out.



Posing before his first attempt.



Still working on the binding...

And finally! Headed up!



Meanwhile, I climbed a very small pile of snow. And felt accomplished.

Matt's first run down.



Taking a break. Look at all that snow!



Pretty slope.



Pretty snow.



Me and Whitney.



Lunch. We're all still bundled up because this was little more than a a garage under the ski lift. No heat. But clean toilets.



Matt's awesome beanie hair and mid-chew pose.
