Skiing/Snowboarding at Winter Park

My mom's Christmas present to us was a trip to Winter Park to ski and snowboard. We stayed at the bottom of the mountain and it was perfect. We could walk to the lift and walk back whenever we wanted to.

This is what the building we stayed in looked like.

The girls on the trip - my mom, me, Sheena (Daniels girlfriend) and Meghan (Marcus' fiance).

The first day Ian and I just hung out and walked around while everyone else hit the mountain. But then the second day we took Ian up the mountain. It started off pretty good but it slowly when downhill from there. Chris ended up carrying Ian for about an hour down the mountain. They were both exchausted by the end of the run. But Ian wants to go back and try it again so that's all that matters!

The third day we took Ian sledding and he loved it. He cried when we had to leave.


We also took a ride on the new gondola. Ian talked about it for 2 days straight so we had to take him on it. Again he cried when we had to stop riding it.

After the gonodla ride Chris thought it would be fun to have a snowball fight. Luckily I ducked right after taking this picture because this was heading straight for my face.


We had a great time and hated to leave. But luckily we are planning another trip at the end of January with friends so it won't be long before another road trip to Colorado.

Thanks Grandma Kershaw - this was a great Christmas present!!
