43.366-47.366 {2016}

We look forward to our annual trip out west to ski over President's Day weekend.  This year we headed to Deer Valley in Park City, Utah.  It was beautiful!

 We stayed in a condo about 1/2 mile away from the Deer Valley Resort.  The girls are standing outside of  "Lakeside".  It was a nice and updated condo with a kitchen and 4 bedrooms.  We had a convenient shuttle which dropped us at the front of the ski area.  
 They had fun swinging chair lifts to sit in.
 The girls getting fitted for boots and skis.  A long and very warm (and sweaty) process!
 Such beautiful views!  The first day was sunny and almost 50 degrees!

 After the first day of skiing, the girls couldn't wait to get into the heated pool and hot tub.  Look at the mound of snow behind them!
 On the second day we were able to ski all together for some time.  It started to snow as well.

 At the end of the ski school day I went up the lift with Allie and Juliette and did a few quick runs with them before they closed it.

 It was amazing how quickly they picked skiing again.  It won't be long before they are better then their mom and dad!

 That night we got reservations for "Snowed Inn" at Park City at the recommendation of a friend.  It didn't disappoint and was a definite highlight of the kids!  We took a sleigh ride up the mountain in Park City to the lodge that had live music and drinks. On the way back down after dinner, the girls got a turn guiding the horses down the mountain.  


 On the third day we were all really tired but going to make the most of our last day in Utah.  It went soooo fast!  We went a little bit early so we could ski a little with them before ski school started.  Allie and Juliette were really sad that they couldn't ski with us all day.  They need to learn from the instructors now and I know in a few years we will be able to family ski every day!

It was a short and fun weekend with our good friends.  Even though we were all tired, we just love the scenery and being in the gorgeous mountains!
