Ever since I was can remember, my family has made an annual pilgrimage to Sun Valley, Idaho for a family ski vacation. About 10 years ago, my mom's best friend and her family built a house in Sun Valley, and we gained a stellar place to stay on these annual vacations. The last time I visited in February, 2006, I took a long weekend and flew with my Mom and her friend to Sun Valley for a "girls trip," as none of our other family members were available. The weather was impeccable, sunny as always. We spent the weekend skiing, shopping, dining out at local restaurants, and curling up in front of a roaring fire watching the Winter Olympics.On our final day we decided to try snow-shoeing. Snow-shoeing is pretty funn
y, it feels like tying tennis rackets to your feet and shuffling through the snow with the aide of ski poles. The three of us corralled around in the snow, sinking into drifts, and occasionally losing our balance and tipping over, which I'm sure appeared quite comical to anyone who might have been watching. All in all it was more of a workout than I anticipated. Although I must say, while snow-shoeing, you have adequate time to absorb the wilderness scenery, a nice change-up from a downhill run.
