Spring Skiing

This year Seth asked to go skiing. We told him we are fair weather skiers, so spring break would be the time to try. We went to Utah for spring break to visit family and let the kids try skiing for the first time. We had a couple snow storms the beginning of the week which made for perfect skiing later in the week. Sunny skies, warmish temps, and walk on (ski on) lifts. They still had 100 inches for the mid base pack. We rented skis, got the kids lessons for the morning and then hit the slopes as a family. Matt and I had never been skiing together, so we both hadn't been skiing in over 17 years. It is just like riding a bike, you never loose it :) We even went down a black diamond run while the kids were in lessons. Skiing was definitely hard on the knees, but we finished the day with no major crashes or injuries!

French Fries make everything better :)

Watch out for this kid on the slopes!

Taking the lift up link, the kiddie slope they learned on.

Cheese!

Graduating to the Moonbeam Express lift! They were amazing!

This video was taken the one time there were a few snow flurries, the rest of the day was beautiful! Seth is the yellow helmet and Paige the red.
