Sledding at Piancavallo

Piancavallo (Pee-onk-ah-vah-lo) is a ski resort about 30 minutes from our house. It's a huge attraction for skiers, snowboarders, and sledders alike. We decided to go and spend the day sledding before the snow melts. Turns out our worries were premature...there's still over six feet of snow up there...crazy! So the drive itself is a 15 mile cruise up the mountain...full of sharp hairpin turns and insane drop-offs. Driving that road is NOT my favorite thing to do. The ride made me carsick, and I was driving the car! Of course, once you're at the top, the views are beautiful and the snow is tons of fun. All we did was sled today, but we're definitely going to try out our skiing skills in a couple weeks...should be fun. Here are a few pics from today's trip. By the way, jet lag kicked in about 2pm and I took a power nap right there in the snow. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do!
