Skiing again! Someones addicted!




We went skiing again on Saturday. It was the perfect day to ski. The sun was shining all day and we even had to take our coats off it was so warm. We had alot of fun. The kids are pros by now. They even went on the T-bar and the harder ski runs that had me scared to dealth. As many of you know this was only my 4th time skiing (and I am chicken....I don't seem to fall as softly as I used to for some reason HA! HA!) so I pretty much just snowplow down the hills. The T-bar was the scariest for me though, and Chantz he goes up it by himself like a pro. I would have been just as happy staying on the rope tow bunny hill all day, but no...my family has to do the hard stuff. The kids have too much of thier fathers NO fear in them!

Here's proof that I actually did ski not just take pics. Although I am sure feeling every sore muscle in my body today. I can't remember the last time I felt all of these muscles.
Sage was being such a goof ball. It was pure entertainment just to ski down the hill with her to see what the next thing she was going come up with would be.

Chantz going up the T-bar!
Sage and Weston on the T-bar.


So photogenic aren't they! I made them stop to take pictures in the middle of the ski run, Chantz wasn't so enthuised about it. But that's what moms do right!

Skiing






Today we went skiing at the little ski hill they have on Cedar Pass just about 20 minutes from here. They have a small lodge with a rope tow and and a T-bar. It is all run by volunteers. It is pretty neat. This was Chantz and Sages first time skiing and they caught on so fast, especially Sage (which really surprised us) their instructor was really good and had them skiing in no time. Needless to say the kids are now both addicted to skiing. They didn't want to leave. They ended the day entering the ski races and Sage won 2nd in the girls and Chantz won 3rd in the boys. Not bad for their first time skiing.

It has now snowed for days and days now. They are saying that this is more snow this area has gotten in more than 15 years. Weston is getting snowmobile fever. Especially after skiing today.
(Just noticed that I should update the date on my camera)
