First ski trip

We left Friday after school and headed to Monarch ski lodge to meet up with another family. We spent the night there; we swam, hot tub, sauna, racquetball, basketball, and even freeze tag. Tired out the kids and then put them to bed. The next morning was the great morning for Olivia. She was going skiing for the first time.
We drove the 5 minutes to the slope where it was snowing and 16 degrees. We checked her in and bundled her up. She was thrilled.

Olivia went to ski school for a half of the day.
I can't even call this a bunny hill, it was mostly flat but she loved the practice there.
Then they adventured to the bunny hill on the mountain. Her first chair lift.
she did great and did not fall when she got off.
That's our girl.
Her first time on the bunny slope and she did great.
Then she fell, not once but many times.
She got up and kept going. She is a champ at this.
Then we stopped for lunch after school was over.
We headed back out after lunch, she did two more rounds before she had a bad spill. She got cold and was ready to go in. Don't blame her.
Then Jon and I went out for our last run, which was wonderful.
So much fresh powder.
We all had a wonderful day.
