This the last year that the kids all get season passes to Nordic Valley for free, so we've been trying to take advantage. We've each taken them up a couple of times to ski while we hang out by the fire, trying to keep warm. But we can't let them have all the fun, so Tim and I got passes to Snowbasin this year. The girls also got the Ski Utah pass that lets them go to all the resorts in Utah three times. We mostly got them so that we can take them to Basin with us.
A couple of weeks ago we took Bri, Ava and Bus out of school to head up there and take advantage of the passes. Brielle is just absolutely flying down the mountain, she looks like a natural. Bus just wants to go fast and doesn't care that he's not really doing it right, cruising straight down and then snowplowing when he needs to turn or stop. Ava has it figured out, but she's a little more cautious, like her mom. Which was good for me, because even she kept leaving me in the dust.
I am a nervous skier. But I love it!
Last week Mason finally took a day off school (seriously, the anxiety this kid feels at even the thought of missing a day...he turned down a trip to South Africa because he would miss too much) and went to Snowbasin with Tim. He has really caught on they had a great time together, he came home so happy. That was quickly forgotten when he got home and had to do all his homework for the day, but we'll try to get him up there again.
