First Ski!


It snowed about 14 inches last week at our house, and even more at our ski resort, so they opened last weekend. This weekend they are predicted to get 50+ inches at the resort, so they opened up another area of the resort. With more snow and time off from school, we took the kids skiing today!  It was perfect!  

The road up was clear as day and when we got there the snow was still pretty powdery!  The best was there was barely anyone there. No lines at all!  We got our favorite parking spot and headed to the lift. After a run or two Kyle and I up with the kids and took this epic selfie!

While we were there, the weather turned. It went from clear and lightly snowing to gusty and hailing. We all had our new gear on and it worked great, but eventually our stamina waned and we headed home. The road became pretty ugly while we were skiing and we had to go pretty slow on the way down. We managed to pass someone who was going 5 MPH and then went straight to the house to unload.
