Deer Valley Ski Vacation

This week you took a big vacation. First we all went to Deer Valley Ski Resort in Park City Utah. Our usual ski vacation spot. You then went on to LA to see family but I came home to NY so no video of that.

We had four good days. It snowed some in the night and it was mostly sunny in the day. And mommy had lots of extra miles so we splurged and stayed at the St. Regis which is a very posh hotel on the mountain. I think we still like having an apartment more because we have kitchen and washing facilities and more room to run around. But the St Regis had hot chocolate, marshmallows, and whipped cream for ski apres every day. We also got to ride the funicular every day. Kind of like a train on a steep slope.

You are now a pretty good skier. You moved up on class from last year and your instructor said you can move up another next year. You can turn fine and you've picked up a bit of speed since last year. You can almost do a "hockey stop" and more importantly you enjoy skiing. You stuck mainly to blue runs (as opposed to green (easy) and black (hard)). And now you want to go skiing with mommy and daddy. Next year I think we can do that for a day. You should always take lessons though. Maybe when you are as good as us we'll all take lessons together.

We also met some friends out there. The Munsells and their kids Caroline and Jeffrey. You had fun playing with them when they invited us over to their condo. And on the last day we met one of Carol's friends and her two daughters up at the Montage hotel. We got to bowl and play darts and have dinner. You loved one of the girls because she likes to do cartwheels and gymnastics moves too.
