Spring break exceeded my expectations. I expected slushy and warm spring skiing. Instead it felt like Christmas Break. It snowed everyday. We skied in and out from the condo to the resort. It was an amazing week of skiing. Other bonuses were sleeping in everyday because the resort didn't open until 10:00. We enjoyed dinner and family time after and still got to bed at a decent time. I actually got more than 8 hours of sleep every night and it felt wonderful.
We left Monday after lunch to drive to Brian Head. It was a lazy morning.
We got there at dinner time and met Cam's family at the pizza place at Brian Head. I had a yummy salad and everyone else had pizza and said it was really good. I haven't minded eating gluten free because most of the time I can find a good alternative. James and Wes were buddies.
The condo
The condo had a small kitchen, a loft, 3 bathrooms, and 3 bedrooms. It slept up to 12. There was a clubhouse with a large hot tub. For meals, we took turns preparing breakfast and dinner with Cam's family. I planned waffles with strawberries and cream, coffee cake, spaghetti and chili in bread bowls. We ate well!
We got on the slopes at opening Tuesday morning. It was so nice to ski over to the condo for lunch and then get back on the slopes after a quick lunch. Then we skied until is closed. Wednesday and Thursday were pretty much the same schedule. There were 8 lifts but we just stuck to Giant Steps lift because we had so much fun on those runs and the terrain park.
We skied in different groupings throughout the day depending on skill level. I figured out that I'm the second to last slowest skier out of my family. I couldn't keep up with Marshall, James, Lynnlee, Kade and Tag. They just pretty much put their skis straight and fly down the hill without turning, even on blue runs! I like a few more turns than that. Sienna take it the easiest but she was going pretty fast by the end of the week. It was fun to see her improve.
I guess my pictures are out of order. This is from dinner at the pizza place Monday night.
It was cloudy and stormy most of the time but we got a nice view Tuesday afternoon and you could see red rock and plateaus in the distance. It was so beautiful.
James had to get home for soccer practice. He went home Wednesday after skiing with Grandpa and Grandma Lowry. It was so nice of them to come visit, watch Wes while we skied, and take James home. We headed home Friday morning. This was the view down the canyon back home.
It was such a fun spring break! It definitely was easier with older kids.
