waterfall canyon - winter hiking.

now this adventure was for my outdoor education class... yeah... i love taking easy classes! I had never been up to waterfall canyon before and I can only imagine what it is like in the spring or summer.

cross-country skiing - the practice round.

outdoor adventure class - we practiced for our cross-country ski overnight trip that is next weekend. I told my professor that this was more like ice-skating with cross-country ski's on. He agreed. The snow is horrible! Let's hope the snow is different up in Idaho next weekend...

sledding.

Eric, Shane, and I had quite the time of sledding! Enjoy.

snow shoeing.

For my outdoor adventure class we went snow shoeing! I had never been before and I absolutely loved it!

I convinced my friend Shane to take the outdoor adventure class with me...cause we all know adventures are better with friends.

the year of adventures [it's just the beginning]

I have decided that this year is going to be full of adventures! Even more so than last year...which was by far one of the most adventure filled years I have had. Bring it on 2011!

So far this year I have traveled to Minneapolis, Minnesota. I was there for 36 hours and was in meetings for 14 of those hours. I was outside in the cold, freezing air for a maximum of 1 minute...and that might be stretching it. Yay for airport/hotel shuttles! This was my very first time having a hotel room all to my self! I even had a king size bed!
