Chloe has a new love. It is skiing! We got her ski lessons for Christmas and she loved it so much we keep signing her up for more! Hilltop Ski area is literally walking distance (maybe a mile, prob less) from our house so it is easy to pop over there for a lesson after work. It sounds so Alaskan to have a ski mountain right next to our house... And I will add Chloe did see a moose on the slopes a few weeks ago :)
She even rides the char lift now! Here she is with her instructor.
One night the whole family went out to watch her ski and to play in the snow. Maddie had a great time too. We bought skis for her as well but so far she has only used them once, but we are hopeful seeing Chloe might persuade her to gee it another try. Once she is 3 we can get her lessons too, but until then it is up to us to try to expose her to the sport.
Just playing in the snow is fun too!
This was one of Chloe's final runs of the night. I couldn't believe how fast she came down the mountain! Even better she could stop at the bottom! You can see how happy she is. I am pretty sure Andrew will keep signing her up for weekly lessons if it keeps making her this happy! It is awesome to see the look of pride on her face and hear her talking all about it on the ride home.

This is so awesome! I learned to ski when I was three I think, so of course I don't remember it, just remember driving up most weekends in the winter. I wish Bj knew how to ski! I guess it's up to me to get the family on the slops!
Looks like so much fun! Lucky you to have a ski area that close to home.
