3 napping kids on the flight out
Flight out was really nice. 2.5 hours, 1.5 with 3 kids sleeping, plenty of room.
All ready to ski on day 1. Never showed an ounce of hesitation.
Day 1 on the bunny hill. Magic carpet (think conveyor belt) was just to the right.
And she's off!
Luckily, I caught up with her, but check out the spray of snow by her boot.
Happily down the hill.
Riding up in the Gondola

Same spot, different angle.
Skiing in the woods. Ahhh
Self portrait.
Ashley, headed down "Why not"- a 3.5 mile run; she did great.
There was a TP halfway down the mountain. We stopped for a snack.
Ashley & Dad, halfway down.
Day 1 of skiing on the last stretch of the run
Nicole, in skis, hanging out with Popi.
Nicole skiing with Mom.
I take full blame for having cropped out the skis that Nicole was wearing. Ooops.
The brave sisters
Skiing with the Fishers.
One of Luke's sun deck naps.
Ashley right before her last run.
Views were amazing. Weather was perfect too.
The "edgy wedgy" on her ski tips worked out great and she really got a feel for "snowplowing" or "pizza" as we called it.
Ashley, starting, turning and stopping all on her own.
Last day of skiing, coats off to stay cool.
Some demonstration of her "pizza"
Pardon the bad filming and my voice, but this is Ashley's last few feet of skiing for the trip; so much improvement.
Hanging out in the condo after a long day of skiing.
It was bright; but we grabbed lunch at the top of the gondola before we headed off for our flight home.
No Jet way at Hayden International; made for a fun boarding.
