Just got home from a WONDERFUL Spring Break!! We left on Tuesday, 3/13/12, and arrived in Brian Head at 4pm!!! Our condo was ski in/ ski out.... right on the mountain!! We unloaded the car then went for a little drive around the little town. We had a quick dinner at and mexican resturant then headed back to the condo!!!! They had a large hot tub, a sauna, and a full game room!! We sat in the hot tub for a bit then went to the game room to play!!! Then we went back to the condo and played Apples to Apples before sending the kiddos to bed!!!
DAY ONE of skiing!!! The day started out as "exploration"... where we were just hitting different runs and checking the area out!! We headed back to the condo for lunch and a little break before hitting the slopes again!!! Adrien LOVED the jumps!! Every time he would hit the jumps, people on the lift and also people in the jump park would all start cheering for him!! One guy yelled "You're my hero!!" I heard one kid yell to his dad "Dad, did you just see that little kid hit those jumps?!" He wiped out a few times, but he loved that too!!! He is a NUT!!! So we did some black diamonds and I was doing a pretty good job of keeping up with everyone. Dad and the kids decided to try this DOUBLE BLACK DIAMOND!! They actually took it at a less steep starting point, but THEY ALL DID IT!!! They are just amazing skiers and make me so proud!!! After skiing we headed back to the condo. David made dinner and the kids went to the game room. After dinner we all went to sit in the hot tub for a bit. Then we came back to the condo to watch American Idol!!!! It was a great day!!!
DAY TWO Up and at 'em again!!! Another great day of skiing!!! We did some tough Black Diamonds and I did pretty dang good!!! I was proud of myself!! Of course I can't beat any of my kids, but hey... at least I am making it down the hill without stopping!!! We skied until about 1pm then headed back to the condo for lunch and a break again!!! That has been one of the best parts.. being able to ski right up to our condo!!! We hit the slopes hard this afternoon!! The weather was great and we were having a blast. Dad and the kids even hit that Double Black Diamond TWO MORE TIMES!!! After sking, we all went to the hot tub right away!!! It was so nice!!! Then we hung out in the game room and played for awhile. Dad made some yummy tacos for dinner. We ate and watched American Idol!! Then we played Apples to Apples before heading off to bed!!! Another great day!!
DAY THREE We were all a little slower getting started today. We layed around for awhile this morning before getting ready to hit the slopes. We skied over to the other side. It is more beginner runs, but it was still fun to go over their and do something different. When we headed back to the other mountain again, the boys and girls split up. Dad and Adrien hit the jumps and the girls and I just wanted to ski some runs!! We headed to a lift that hadn't been open all week. Samone really wanted to try this Black Diamond called Outskirts CatWalk. Cat Walk should have been a clue, but it was a Black diamond. The first part of the run was flat!!! OMG, we were WORKING!!! The run turned out to be a fun little run, but not worth that flat part!! Still, it was our little adventure. At about 2:30, we were done!!! Three days of skiing had wore us out!! We headed back to the condo to freshen up a bit before heading off to the much-anticipated part of our trip!!!! Tubing!!! They have this tubing park that the kids could not WAIT to go on!! We were scheduled from 4-8!! We stopped to eat first, then headed over. Now, it had gotten pretty cold. Dad and I figured the kids would last about an hour or two.... Oh were we wrong!!! THEY LOVED IT!!! All of them!!! I had to sit in the car occasionally to warm up, but they never once complained!!! We finally got them to leave at about 7:15pm. We went back to the condo and went to sit in the hot tub for a bit!!! Back at the condo, the kids had a snack and then headed to bed!!
HEADING HOME Everyone was pretty wore out this morning!!!! Packing up is never fun, and we were all TIRED!! Heading out was a bit of a scare.... It was snowing and so, so windy that for a part of the ride we could barely see the road!!! It was a total white out!! It was scary!! But then it got better and we were good!!! We stopped in Page to eat before rolling back in to town!!!
It was a GREAT ski trip !!! We had so much fun. But it is always nice to get home!!!
Now they are predicting 5-10 inches of snow in the next 2 days!!! HMMM We may be snowed in!!
