Black Diamond

I flew home from Atlanta on Tuesday afternoon following the Evolve Conference. Thoroughly enjoyed it by the way! I got off the plane, drove home, hopped into our minivan, and we drove right up to Wisp Ski Resort on Tuesday night. Spent Wednesday skiing with friends and family. Parker and I snowboarded our first black diamond.

I also drove our minivan off the road. Deep Creek got about four inches of snow today and it was too slick for our anti-lock brakes. The amazing thing is that I went right in between two trees that would have definitely deployed the airbags and caused some serious damage. Fortunately, I only drove over some saplings, put it in reverse, and got back on the road. No harm no foul. I guess.

I love the Wisp. When I was in college one of my best friends was going to Garrett Community College and she would get us passes where we could ski free on Tuesday nights!!! Loved it!
The roads around there, are nothing like the roads around here even when they are dry...let alone when they are covered with snow!
I praise God, for keeping you and your family safe!

My first black diamond was an accident - kind of like your sapling adventure!

Where is Wisp? How long from Atlanta?

When I was a kid in the 40's and 50's I spent every summer at Deep Creek Lake. There was no Wisp back then. For the past six weeks, Kissimmee, FL has become home and that ain't all bad, either!

The Wisp and Deep Creek, MD are in the "V" created by West Virginia and Maryland, about an hour or more NW of Washington, DC.
