Ski Après

I recently went on a ski trip to Heavenly Mountain in Lake Tahoe. This trip was coincidentally right at the start of the winter Olympics, and we had the best time skiing all day and cheering on Team USA at night!

Briley and I are both figure skaters, so naturally that is our favorite event, although I must say the slopestyle snowboarding is a close second!

We spent two full days skiing this trip fueled by more hot chocolate than I would like to admit. Our first day out we had gorgeous weather and got to take in the amazing view of lake tahoe from the lift and manage to take some awesome photos! The second day out was a bit colder, and by a bit colder I mean absolutely freezing. It was snowing pretty hard which made for interesting visibility and a bit more of a thrilling ski day. We ended both days soaking our sore muscles in the hot tub at our cabin over looking the mountains.

Both days I made sure to wear a comfortable and warm hat. A good hat is extremely important while skiing to keep your whole body warm. My Team USA hat and pullover are from Old Navy. Their Team USA line this year is so adorable I couldn’t resist! If your like me and you live somewhere where skiing is not a seasonal activity, it’s hard to justify spending the money on ski gear. My advice is to check consignement shops for ski pants and coats. Both Briley and I’s pants are from consignment shops and they worked perfectly!

I hope you like the photos! What are your ski trip tips?
