First Day of the Season

Bridger Bowl opened this weekend and we were anxious to get out and see the kids skiing! We woke up to a beautiful bluebird day just perfect for a family day at the hill! We loaded up the skiis, boots, suits and toques and enjoyed the quick 15 minute drive to Bridger Bowl.

First order of business was to get the kids their first ever ($5) season's pass! Noah's looks like he's giving the camera a high five...this seems to be a good sign. Dan and I were both brimming with pride to see our kids dressed up like real skiers.

Lily amazed us with her willingness and excitement for skiing. She hopped right on the lift with me and snapped her skiis on like it was an everyday thing. Dan rode up with Noah, who also showed no hesitation. Skiing must be in their blood! I helped Lily slide and ran along with her (most exercise I've had for a long time). She did great! We did a couple runs, then went into the lodge for the best part....fries and dogs! During lunch Lily kept pointing up at the big hill saying she wanted to ski down there...yet another good sign of days to come.

After lunch we went out for one more ride up the lift. Noah opted out... This turned out to be Lily's best run! She even slid down the run for a portion of the time with me just holding her mittened little hand. We packed it in quickly...figuring less is more at this stage, and headed back home content with our successful first outing.
