Hitting the slopes





Morgan and Doug rang in the new year with a visit to Eldora Mountain....our local ski area. They went with neighbors Ed (grown-up) and Chay (3 year old) in Ed's mountaineering man van. It was the first time on skis for both kids so they stuck to the rope tow on the learning hill! The day was incredibly successful. Morgan skied well and Doug had a great time teaching him.

They had such a great time that we all went back the next day. Doug and Morgan took in a few "runs". I took pictures and snowshoed with Grant in the backpack. Things were going well until a big snowstorm blew in and all kids got a little too cold/wet and melted down. The great part of being on the free learning hill at the local ski area is that we just packed up and went home where it was sunny and warmer!

This was yet another light at the end of the tunnel moment for us. In possibly two, most likely three years we can get a family ski pass to Eldora and start skiing regularly again!
