Our Story...: Our Big White Ski Trip...

Thursday, Valentine's Day, we left right after school for Big White ski resort in Kelowna BC. We rented a cute little two bedroom condo on the mountain. We spent four nights and came home Monday afternoon, after we skied most of the day. It was a blast. It's a pretty big mountain with lots of different areas, and a bunch of high speed lifts. We explored the whole thing. I was so proud of Luke. He kept right up with us. He every run we did except one afternoon when Chad and the big boys did the "Cliff" which was a handful of double blacks. Luke did moguls, powder, trees, every blue, black and in between run. It was adorable to watch him follow his brothers over every bump and jump they could find.

We took turns spending half a day at the condo with Claire. Usually Abbie would stay home with her in the morning while I skied. Then Abbie would go out with the guys and I took Claire on the bunny hill. She's adorable. She quite likes it, and is really getting the hang of the pizza.

We also tubed on their enormous tubing hill. It had tow ropes on each side to pull you back to the top. We spent one evening sledding around the resort. It was the highlight for me. I couldn't stop laughing. Every condo was connected by cat tracks all over the place, so they were all truly ski in and ski out. At the bottom was a gondola that took us back to the village. We would leave our condo and sled the cat tracks all the way to the bottom, then ride the gondola up and sled down to our condo. We did the loop several times. It was a blast!! We also played cards and hot tubbed, although our hot tub pooped out after about two days.
