Up above, a massive snowstorm Sugarbush 2018, is coming to the northeast, and I’m getting ready to ski in Sugarbush. Im trying something new today, it will be messy. I decided to write my story today without the aid of Yoast. I will rely on my wit, and hopefully, the story comes out exciting read for you.

Massive Snowstorm Sugarbush 2018
Earlier Uber prices surge because of an accident on the highway caused diversions. I waited a bit while watching YouTube, but then I realized I might be late. So I hurried downstairs. I grabbed my light bag and skis, put on my giant boot bag and called the elevator. After a quick breath, I hailed for a Uber and waited for it to show.

On my way to Fresh to Go in a warm Honda accord. I got an Uber pool, traffic is terrible, so I got the Uber to myself. We are driving up ocean parkway because of traffic conditions. Earlier, I learned that the bus is 30 mins late, so that means that I will get less sleep for Saturday. From fresh to go, it will take about 6:30 – 7 hours to drive or four days if I walk.
Before getting to Starbucks
Earlier, I was packing for my ski trip. If it weren’t for my reusable ski packing list, I would have forgotten my ski undies. Getting out of the car, I realized its impossible to stand outside. Snow and sleet are pouring out; I decided to pop into Starbucks and see if my ski mates are there. To my surprise, I was the only one. Okay, it didn’t take too long till i wasn’t just me. In fact, i found myself playing a card game called Love Letter.

I created this reusable ski packing checklist, so that next time I go, it will be faster to get my pack done. However, I know I haven’t posted in a while, but I’ve written drafts and getting content ready for you. This reusable ski packing list is way overdue. Also, my goal is to evoke a sense of order and organization on the day I leave on my trip. In other words, I have included links to some of the products I purchased that had helped me with my journey. Not to mention, if you do decide to buy something, I’ll get some commission, and you’ll get a chance to support me. Thank you for those that do buy via my links on this reusable ski packing checklist.
Consideration for Cab in Manhattan 🚖
Ask cab driver if they aren’t going to pick up their kid or something. In other words, you can plan to get to your destination on time. Also, if you’re in the city like me, find out from the driver where and what time traffic is an issue. Yet, before you leave, set an alarm on your cell phone to order the taxi. For example, give your self an extra half hour. Later on, I learned that Toyota Camry, Altima can fit a few ski bags and two people. Like you can install the ski bag if the driver pushes the seat back. Yet, if you get an UBER XL, you can provide 3-4 ski bags. Also, if you’re in the Manhattan around 3-9 pm, don’t cross West-side highway from 57, 42, 34 or 23 because it takes forever!
What to pack it into? 🛍
The reusable ski packing checklist has many items. Yet, we need a place to put everything. Thus, I broke everything into simple lists because I wanted it easy to read.
In this section, you should use the items at the hotel, nightlife, car or anywhere on the resort. Yet, if you feel I missed something, please let me know in the comments below. 🕺
U Pillow
Keeps your neck from hurting when you sleep in the car
At first, I wasn’t sure if they would fit because the size was odd on the Amazon link. Yet I just had to go with my regular shoe size, medium in my case and it fit perfectly.
Adding varnish to my day, I decided to visit my girl’s parents place, the night before my ski trip. Not to mention, my girlfriend and I were leaving early in the morning. In the same light, her dad left early for work, so we took the bus to the train station. After all, we took the bus and left for the train. Finally reaching Atlantic terminal train stop and part ways.
The Eventual Packing Cube 🍱
Soon, I made it home to pack for the ski trip. In the same light, I’m glad I started early. Not to mention, I’m not a guru at packing! For example, I purchased AmazonBasics 4-Piece Packing Cube and Osprey Packs Ultra Light. I was able to fit all my regular and ski clothes into a DAKINE Limited Fall Line Ski Roller Bag. Yet, this year I’ve created a simple packing list and used it as a checklist. In other words, it helped me not forget my ski pants! All things considered, I plan to share it with you because it does speed up my pack and it will help you too!
The Chill Zone 🛀
Then I chilled and watched Charisma on Command. To be sure, it’s a show about improving your conversation with people around you. Including, this small gist of useful knowledge:
…Learn how to be more confident, how to make people laugh, how to be more likable – basically everything about exuding charisma. Relationships in life are everything, so we want to teach you to turn on your most confident, charismatic self in the moments that matter most.
The First Ski Trip of the Season 🎿🏂
My Goal was to meet people on the bus to show them my art and grow my ski abilities. Yet, trying not to shit my self. For example, during my visit to my girlfriend parents place, I learned that my stomach was hurting. Before my ski trip, I was getting nervous with my pack. Thus, it made me want to go even more. What should I do now?
Trip Down 42 Street, Times Square 🚆
Bad idea to carry a big double ski big bag down 44 street or anywhere near 6 through 8 Ave. Never again! It’s a mob scene during rush hour. Yet, coming out of the subway, I couldn’t find an elevator at my stop, so I ended lugging my heavy ski bag up the subway steps. Again, so many theatre and restaurant places, but huge lines on the street. As a result, it made it so much harder for me to get to my destination. Thus, next time, I will take a cab, save myself the grief and hardship.

I started with a rough sketch using the sketchbook app. Yet, it wasn’t until a few weeks later where I decided to ink it and tighten up the line work. Then, I colored it by using marquee and paint bucket. Finally, I added multiply and screen layers to add shadow and highlights.
Ski Trip Notes 🗒️
Met a friend on the bus that is into Chinese medicine, snowboarder.
