Skiing Adventures & Supporting Team USA with #ItsOurTime

Hello, my friends! I hope those of you who had yesterday off for the holiday enjoyed it! Inspired by the Olympic Winter Games, Matt, my dad, and I decided to take a day trip and go skiing!

2014021795163435

We drove up to Whitetail in Pennsylvania, which is only about 1.5 hours from DC. It was INSANELY crowded (Matt and I had to wait nearly 2 hours to rent skis – my dad was lucky and owns his so he headed straight to the black diamonds), but once we got going it was worth the wait. It was such a beautiful day for skiing!

IMG_1218

So sunny and the trails were mostly powder vs. ice, too, which was great.

Matt and I got in a couple runs on the easier slopes and then spent most of the afternoon on the blue (intermediate) slopes, which were pretty steep but nice and wide and a lot less crowded than the greens.

IMG_1223

The lift to get up to the blues was way less crowded and faster, too – good motivation to step it up a notch! I’m not all that great of a skiier since I didn’t learn until late in high school and only go about once a year, but I feel like I’m starting to get more confident out there. Matt was sweet and stuck with me on the easier slopes all day. 🙂

20140217_154454

Before we settled in and I got my ski legs back a little bit, Matt shot a hilarious video of me on the bunny slope on our first run of the day. His commentary totally makes it – you can hear us both start cracking up at the end of the video as I “whizz by” (aka slide by at approximately 2 miles per hour, lol). He totally has the Olympic Winter Games TV commentator voice down, too. Hilarious. I tried to embed the video directly but it wasn’t working, so instead click here to view it on YouTube. Enjoy 😉

IMG_1220

I did feel really inspired out there yesterday, though, given that we’ve been watching so much amazing winter sports coverage on TV over the past week! While we were out there yesterday I had a lot of fun pretending I was in the Olympic Winter Games, slicing my way down the mountain to victory. I feel like everyone else out there yesterday was doing the same thing – there were some little stops on some of the slopes where snowboarders could practice some tricks, etc. Anyone else obsessed with watching all the action on TV? Matt and I have been enjoying it nonstop. I don’t want it to end!

IMG_1219

One of the things I’ve also really been enjoying while watching the action is, actually, the commercials! The Winter Games-focused commercials have all been so inspiring and sweet and I love seeing an inside look into the athlete’s lives. One of my favorites so far has been the AT&T #ItsOurTime ads, all about showing the hard work and dedication the athletes have to their sport and training to be part of Team USA. I’ve been saying to Matt how much I love these ads since last week, so when I got an email from the AT&T team asking if I’d like to share a sponsored post about the #ItsOurTime campaign to support the athletes, I was all about it. What a fun coincidence!

IMG_1215

AT&T is a proud partner of Team USA, and their #ItsOurTime app gives all of us a chance to directly show our support for the athletes who have worked so tirelessly over the past 4 years to represent our nation. The free app (available via iTunes & Google Play) is all about celebrating and honoring all of the sacrifices made by the amazing athletes of Team USA. Their talent, perseverance, and commitment to their sport and their country is palpable — and now it’s time to cheer them on! By downloading the #ItsOurTime app, fans all across the country can record themselves shouting the iconic “USA!” chant, and the chants (put together in an interactive digital wall) will be shared with our Team USA athletes before they compete! Cool, huh? Check out my chant video! U-S-A! U-S-A! It’s so cool to think about the athletes seeing me cheering for them before they compete. 🙂

AT&T has offered a fun giveaway for you guys as part of this campaign – one lucky winner will receive the new Samsung Galaxy S4 Active (it’s waterproof – how cool is that?! would be great for skiing!), and another lucky winner will receive a $150 visa gift card and an assortment of Team USA gear/memorabilia.

  • To enter to win, simply comment with which Team USA athlete and/or sport you have been most excited to cheer for!
  • Want an additional entry? Download the free #ItsOurTime app, record your own U-S-A chant video, and submit an additional comment with a link to it (just post the link you receive via email once you upload the video through the app).

I’ll randomly select the winners on Friday and will notify them directly via email!

A big thank you to AT&T for sponsoring this post, and for supporting Team USA! See below for a little more about our awesome athletes – I shared a few of my favorite inspirational quotes from some of their interviews!

Get to know Team USA!

Shani Davis – Speedskating

  • (Talking winning gold in 2006): “To this day when I think of all the hard work, sacrifice, and obstacles I overcame to win that race I still get emotional.”

Meryl Davis – Ice Dancing/Figure Skating

  • (Talking walking in to the 2010 Games): “The experience absolutely surpassed my expectations. Wearing our team uniforms, waving the American Flag… what a feeling of pride.”

Charlie White – Ice Dancing/Figure Skating

  • “We always make a point to hug our moms before we go get ready to compete.” – so cute!

Justin Reiter – Slopestyle/Snowboarder

  • “Like all athletes I have faced a lot of moments in my career where quitting would have been a lot easier. Injuries, poor finishes, unmet goals, and adversity have made for a bumpy road. I am inspired to keep going simply because in my heart I know that the pain and regret that comes along with quitting is greater than any difficulty I face.”

Noelle Pikus Pace – Skeleton

Shaun White – Snowboarder

Alyson Dudek – Speedskating

  • Most inspiring thing anyone has said to her: “Don’t let the good days go to your head, but don’t let the bad days go to your heart. It’s a long journey, but the reward is worth it.”

Heath Calhoun – Paralympian/Skiing

Alana Nichols – Paralympian/Skiing

  • (Talking winning gold in 2010): “I had overcome so much leading up to that moment and when I won that giant slalom race my spirit exploded with joy and sorrow and everything in between. It was one of the most amazing moments of my life.”

Have a wonderful day, my friends!

    My favorite athlete this year is the women's skeleton racer Katie Uhlaender. She's from a little town in Kansas about 30 minutes away from my hometown, and not much else comes from that area besides wheat- so it's exciting stuff! We were so excited to see her get 4th! The ice dancing has been fun too- we love it all!

    It' funny how snow can be such an annoyance when it's on the ground and you are trying to go for a run, or drive , and yet at the same time snow is awesome when you're up in the slopes or sledding :) Looks like you had a great time! To my surprise I have been actually watching a lot of the Olympics! Those XC skiers are like whoa! I'm also in awe of the participants who ski off the slope and look like they are flying- I don't know the right term for it. So many of the sports are just amazing to me because I don't think I could ever bring myself to do those things and their passion for it is so contagious- it makes you want to go out there and try something new!

    I have watched more Olympic coverage than I care to admit but here are 2 stories that have stuck with me: Last night I got really excited for Mac Bohonnon in the aerials. A few weeks ago he didn't even know he was going to Sochi and he placed 5th at age 18! And apparently he's worried about an English paper he has due next week because he's still in high school. It was fun to watch him and he was so gracious about the experience. I was HEARTBROKEN for John Daly (skeleton) after he messed up in his last run. That interview was so hard to watch. I think about how hard I trained for the last marathon and how sad I was to miss my goal by 3 minutes... I can't even imagine what it's like to train for the Olympics and mess up right at the end. Heartbreaking. These athletes are all incredible and inspiring!

So jealous of your ski day! I've also been feeling extra inspired to do some winter sports. Part of me wishes I would have given some of it a try as a kid, but then I remember how I don't really like being cold :) This giveaway is awesome, i'm really keeping my fingers crossed!

    I have always loved figure skating and really like how they added the team competition this year. However, that Nicole Pikus-Pace in the skeleton really stole my heart this year with her dedication to the sport and giving it one more try for a medal. Good for her!

    They're all amazing! The snowboarders are really exciting to watch. Sage Kostenburg is a trailblazer with his record-breaking wins. Always a shout out to the women snowboarders too! Kelly Clark and Jamie Anderson - hooray!

    Noelle Pikus-Pace! I don't know anything about the skeleton except that it's scary, but her story really stuck with me. Great athlete, great mom, great wife, great attitude! She's what everyone should aspire to be. GO USA!
