First skiing of the season

Finally, after a lot of waiting we were able to go back to the mountains and do what we like the most in winter, skiing. This year there's snow everywhere, and plenty of it. It's not winter yet but the ski resorts are jumping in excitement with what's coming. The past years they haven't been very lucky. There was lack of snow and so no business going on. However, now the mountains are packed with snow and people are really wanting to go back to the slopes and enjoy some great rides.
I did it myself last weekend. Monday was a holiday in Spain, so some friends from class and I decided to go to Jaca. We stayed at my place there and skied two out of the three days we were there. The day we did not ski we just enjoyed ourselves playing with the snow and making huge snowballs. We decided we had to get a taste of Jaca's nightlife during the skiing season, when the city is full with people like us. We had a wonderful time and the party was better than expected. I totally recommend it.
Now we are planning our next trip to the snow. We really want to hit the slopes again some time soon. The main problems are time and money. But I'm sure we'll get around them and organize a few more adventures this winter.
