Skiing fun

My husband work at a local ski resort, Snowbird. We haven't taken full advantage of our benefit we get because he works there. 

I took the day off because the kids had the day off too. I wanted to go skiing. With recent snow here in Utah. I was hoping for a good day. I'm a fair weather skier. I like the fresh snow but I want the sun and no wind. That is a rare combination. But we got that today. The kids didn't really want to go but the threat of having to clean the house didn't sound as much fun as skiing. 

A perfect day on the slopes and the children did great. Phoenix is feeling more comfortable getting off the lift with me ( I snowboard not ski like the kids). Jersey is a speed demon on the slopes and loves to try to jump. After lunch the kids were done with skiing. Me? I wanted to keep going, I had to given in to the whines. I had a great workout though. I am hoping to have a chance to ski again just Mike and I before the season is

ski day

yesterday we took the kids out for some skiing. We have had 5 weeks off of school since Christmas for off track time. We told ourselves that we would go every Wednesday. But there were a few Wednesdays that we didn't make it up the mountain.
One last Wednesday we went on the real mountain. It had been 2 years since I had been on the mountain not the bunny hill. I was so spooked but as the day progressed on got over it. We had to leave early because someone (won't name who) had a potty accident. So yesterday we tried it again to go skiing. We stayed on the Bunny hill or Chickadee. I felt so good. There was some fresh powder and it wasn't to cold or I finally learned how to dress for the weather.
With the kids going back to school on Monday I wish we took more time to ski more since the kids love it. But we have Saturday mornings that we can take advantage of.
