Skiing


While we were in UT, we went up to Deer Valley for a fun filled day of skiing. There had been massive amounts of snow and it was a gorgeous day. Jim was a great teacher for Jose and he picked it up pretty quick. The first hour was a little rough, but it was smooth sailing after that. It felt great to get out there on the snow and it was fun to enjoy it together for the first time.

Here's Jose trying on his boots. They take a little help the first time around.

Here we are on the tram up to the lodge! Do they look excited or what?



We started the day out easy with some basics and technique. (See the little line of toddlers behind us?). And wow, I look awesome in goggles.
One of the many gorgeous views up on the mountain.


Relaxing on the "beach" chair after a fun long day of skiing. We never thought we'd make it all the way until 4pm!
Thanks Jim for a fun day, great tips, and for being brave enough to keep taking of your gloves to snap pictures!
I'll post more "action" pictures of the skiing when I get them!
