Being a PNW kid means knowing how to ski! Scott and I want to get the kids comfortable on skis while they are young but haven't been able to commit to weekly ski lessons mainly because it's such a big time commitment. Since we had MLK day off, we figured it would be a good weekend to drive a bit further out and try Mission Ridge, a new-to-us ski hill where the girls could take a few lessons over the course of the weekend. Unfortunately, the kids classes were super booked and we only got the girls in 1 class each, but I think it was still a good trip!
Evie's taken a few classes in the past but finally got on a chair this time. She was loving it so much that after her morning lesson, Scott took her up a few more times and even got her to do a blue run! I"m so proud of her - I don't think *I* have even done a blue run before!
Nora hit a milestone too - she tried out the tow rope for the first time. That thing is super tricky and everyone was falling all over the place because they couldn't hold on. But, she said she cried only a little and was a trooper doing her little pizza wedges to come down the bunny hill.
Do you see Nora straight ahead?

Evie loved skiing with Daddy
Daddy loves that his girls are skiing!
We spent the night at a nearby hotel and then broke up the ~2.5 hr drive home with a snowshoe hike. We were very close to the epic snoeshoe trip we did last year on the way home from Leavenworth that the girls still rave about. We tried a different trail and this time, we were able to walk a lot further and had a lot of fun building a fort and having a snowball fight (girls vs boy) when we stopped at an open field.
