Powder




We have been having an amazing snow season this year. Our little resort in Utah County, Sundance, has received the most snow totals in the state this past week with three new feet of snow on Wednesday. Tal, Max and Olivia have been in ski school every Wed. for the past six weeks and I have been teaching Ashton during this time. But yesterday the powder was just to tempting to pass up. We put Ashton in a private lesson (pretty darn expensive babysitting! but he loved it) and Bruce and I had the best ski day ever. I have never skied in so much new powder. It was amazing. The four children are becoming awesome little skiers, especially Ashton. I think the younger you start the easier it is. He was very excited to 'burn the worm' on his second day on the slopes. Now I have to remind him to slow down! Max and Tal are crazy and seek out any tree trail, bumpy, jump-laden runs they can find. (Remember those days Kevin and Andy?) They need reminding to stay in control and make TURNS. Olivia keeps up with the boys really well and never complains about anything, especially if she knows hot chocolate in the lodge is awaiting her.
Hope you are all having great winters! You can come visit anytime when you want to do a ski get-away.
