Last weekend we had a wonderful trip to the mountains! Just great! We stayed in a 'rustic' cabin in Big Trees Village with our friends Steve and Jen. Very cozy! We were able to go skiing in on Sun including getting the kids on the hill for the first time. This was my first time in 15 years and Mels first in 10. After their lessons we took them up the bunny hill. Julia and Lea could make it down pretty well and Nicolas went down a couple times holding on to John's ski poles. They all really loved it. It was a beautiful day in the snow and people were skiing in t-shirts! Very nice, family oriented place (Bear Valley).
I definitely thing we will go back!
Here are a bunch of videos from the weekend. We also took a day and went sledding at a defunct ski hill. What is really great about the sledding is that we had every combination of adult and kid going down the hill enjoying the sledding together!
After sledding, we went back to the cabin, ate lunch and relaxed. Then slowly cleaned up and left to come home around 4:30. We had a long dinner stop in Arnold and the kids fell asleep on the way home. The whole drive back with traffic and one potty break took 3 hours! WAY better than Lake Tahoe (which is 5+). A much easier drive and cabins and skiing are both a ton cheaper. So it will be the place to go for the snow from now on. Really great! Have a lot of pics to post when I have a chance.
