Family SKi Day At Brighton!

We've been trying to get all four of us on the slopes together for over a month now!  Someone is usually sick or Andy has to travel over the weekend for work.  We braved the crowds on Presidents Day to take everyone to Brighton for the day.  We bought the $35 Majestic/Explorer lift ticket.  You can get a long green and a few different combinations of blues off of Majestic so it was a perfect choice now that Kendall has outgrown her beloved Chickadee at Snowbird.  I have a hard time paying $63 for Snowbird just to do greens with her, but the variety would be nice.  Maybe we'll do it before the season ends so she can enjoy Baby Thunder and the Mini-Miners Camp through the woods with Riley.

Here's the video and some pictures I put together from our day.  Sadly Riley's helmet camera didn't work properly so we didn't get much video from him.  I'm hoping it was an issue with the batteries.  It would turn on, but wouldn't stay on for very long - maybe 30 seconds or so.  Guess that means we need to go again soon to see if we can get some good recordings!

The first time all of us on a lift together!

What a gorgeous day for hitting the slopes!  This is what we call a "blue bird" day and the fresh powder was a bonus!

Eating lunch together in the lodge - what a great chance for us to spend some quality time together!

I know it appears we're doing a lot of skiing this winter - but sadly, I've only skied once for myself this year and that was in the beginning of the season and it wasn't in the best of conditions.  It was icy then because we hadn't got much snow.  Kendall has been skiing almost weekly.  I want to make sure she continues to improve on her skills.  She fights me from time to time on doing turns, etc. but she CAN do them and when we make a game of it, she does a great job.  I started trying to teach her a "hockey stop" the other week, but she wasn't in the mood, but she's getting closer to it each week!
