Wednesday was our final – and I think best! – day skiing. We had another full day on the mountain from 9am to 4pm! We did tons of blues and went back through Bucky’s Front Yard several times. Robert and I finally managed to do it without falling!

Sometimes you just need to lay in the snow and take a break!

Bluebird day on the mountain!

Doesn’t get much better than this!

The kids’ favorite run was Ontario because it had all of the side moguls and things you could go up on. I attempted to follow Maxwell on one of them but obviously missed wherever he exited and found myself stuck up on a very high and steep narrow path. The only way down without breaking my leg was to take my skis off, throw them down, and slide down on my bottom. The kids got quite a kick out of that!!

We were all sad to have to turn in our skis at the end of the day.

But we did have fun with one last meal at Champions Club. Air hockey, skee ball, and Pacman for the win!

We loved skiing! We loved Deer Valley!

Can’t wait to go back!

We got up Tuesday ready to go ski all together! We had originally signed the kids up for a 3rd day of ski school but they didn’t really need it. We had the very best day all skiing greens and blues together! The weather was very overcast and dreary the first part of the day and much colder than it had been the first two days.

When it’s extra cold you just make a mid-morning pit stop for hot chocolate and cookies!

The kids also introduced us to Bucky’s Front Yard – a little side run with plenty of moguls and quick turns. They skied it much better than Robert and I did our first time! Ouch!

We also met some friends for lunch at the Champions Club at the Stein Erickson hotel. It was awesome – not crowded, good food, and lots of free games!

We were wiped out that night and just stayed in the condo for dinner. My kind of night! It was a full and fun day on the mountain!

On the second day of skiing we decided to take the lift down and then ski with the kids down a green to get to ski school. It was rough at first but then they found their groove and we made it down our first run together.

Look at her just zooming down with pigtails flying!

The run was called Success and it was just that!

The kids were in a group with an instructor named Nathan for day 2 and they really liked him. After dropping them off, Robert and I hit up blues all day! We even had some photoshoots! ha!

The best part of the day was when we ran into the kids on the mountain skiing with Nathan! I was so happy to spot them and say “hi” before they happily skied off with their instructor! We picked them up that afternoon and had time to do one more run all together.

They had a great day and we got a fantastic report from the instructor that night.

We did go into town for dinner at The Butcher Shop that night. I’ll be honest, I was too tired and wish we had just stayed in and ordered room service again. But, it was nice to go explore a bit.

Day 2 ended the way it began – with success!
