Since the kids loved their first ski experience last year we decided we had to go again for spring break! This year we decided to go to Deer Valley. Doug and I had skied there before M&M came along and loved it so we thought it would be fun to take the kids. Papa and Nona Lisa joined us which made it much more fun!!
The trip started off well. Two of our four seats got upgraded to Economy Plus. When Doug told Matt that he and Marlie were going to sit in those seats Matt said, "what are we in, Economy Minus?" So that stuck the whole trip...Economy Minus! Hilarious!!
We were a little nervous because the temperatures had been pretty warm and there wasn't much snow on the ground when we flew into Salt Lake City. Thankfully though most of the runs (at least the greens and blues) had plenty of snow so we were in good shape! The kids spent the first 2 days in ski school. Matt was a little frustrated at first that he didn't pick up right where he left off last year but it only took him a day or two before he was flying down the mountain! Marlie did well also. I couldn't believe how brave she was going down a few steep hills! The weather was unusually warm which I loved and we skied most days in 50 degree weather!
It was fun this year...Doug and I got to ski with Matt one day while Marlie was in ski school. It was nice to spend some one-on-one time with him. Doug and Matt had fun skiing together too one morning and that's when Matt discovered he liked the moguls! And then we spent at least 2 days all skiing together! Thankfully all the jumps and entrances into the kids zones were off of the long green runs so Matt was happy skiing those. Otherwise I think I might have gotten left out skiing the greens on my own!! The best part of skiing together was Marlie skiing with the GoPro and narrating the video the entire way down the mountain! She loved it and we all couldn't stop laughing at her play-by-play which was mostly of Matt and how awesome he is!!
Although my peeps didn't want to take a day off of skiing I managed to convince them that our bodies needed a rest and we went tubing! We all loved it and the kids mostly enjoyed going down head first!
Great trip, great weather and great family time! Looking forward to another ski trip next year with my big and little skiers!!
