Moonlight!

This year being an Advocat has paid off way more than I expected it to. We have gotten two free ski days at different resorts. Moonlight gave us a free day on Sunday which turned out to be the perfect day to do it! We had to meet up there at 830 so it was an early morning but that was ok because when we got up there it was snowing and there was tons of fresh snow. 
They started the day off by giving us a guided tour of the mountain which was great because we learned lots about the events they put on and their great deals. Students ski for $39 Sunday through Thursday. They also have a great deal for next years season pass. It costs $450 but you only pay $250 now and then you have until the end of September to pay the rest.  Which being a broke college student is AWESOME. 
Anyway, I got side tracked. After our guided tour they brought us back down to the lodge and fed us cinnamon roles the size of my head! I ate the whole thing and could not believe it. We all decided that we were going to gain ten pounds. Luckily we went out and skied the rest of the day which I hope burnt off all of those calories.
The rest of the day was amazing. It snowed until about noon and then the sun decided to show its face. Perfect timing in my opinion because I was getting a bit cold. 
We stopped for lunch and to meet some friends who had luckily brought leftovers from the giant Thanksgiving feast we cooked on Friday night. Not only did I get a free ski pass but I didn't even have to pay for lunch and I ate the best turkey- potato salad-sandwich ever. 
The day was full of fresh snow and great people. Except for how sore I am today from falling so much, I have nothing to complain about. 
Thanks Moonlight for being such great hosts!
