Skiing in Mongolia

I can't remember how cold it was when we were skiing at Blue Sky Resort two weeks ago. I think it was only -14 that day. It warmed up after lunch a bit . So, in the afternoon we didn't need our face masks.



I promise we were smiling in this picture.


"Pony the Pooh and Icky Mouse" were there to sing happy birthday to any skiers who's special day it was. I keep telling Alex that it is Winney the Pooh, but he just rolls his eyes at me and doesn't believe me.

If you get really cold you can go inside and enjoy a nice hot cup of sea buckthorn juice.

Learn A Snowsport Month

We went with Laura to Solitude. She works for the Salt Lake Visitor's Bureau. She needed to film someone learning to ski and she picked Alex. We had a lot of fun skiing with her, and as it turns out Solitude was a pretty cool place. She made this video for the Salt Lake Visitors Bureau Blog.

AHHHH... breakfast at the lodge.

Skiing in January

We are having fun with Alex, but I am still Dreaming about the Cirque on a powder day. In the meantime we are rocking Sunnyside at Alta.

Alta Dude!

Alex had is first day on his very own skis yesterday. And he loved it! The best part was when we let him glide on the snow back and forth between us. There is a definite learning curve for teaching your toddler how to ski.



First lesson was that it is bad when you run out of hill to ski down, Alex will always want more hill. Second lesson was that it would be easier to wear Alpine boots skis instead of telemark. Third lesson, its not a good idea to keep goldfish crackers in your knee pocket, he doesn't want them and eventually you WILL have to kneel down. Next time I will wear a backpack, strap my poles to it, and have a place to put our cameras. Hand warmers are a must for the little dude. Get a harness or a hoola hoop and let him experiment with gliding on his own. Crashing is the best part. (according to Alex!)

The Romark Ski swap was really good to Alex this year! He loved his goggles so much that he insists on sleeping with them in his bed.
