New Years: Bear Lake and Beaver Mountain

Astrid finished her skiing experience with a little swinging fun...

"The Magic Carpet" was awesome. It took Astrid and Dad to the top of the bunny slope.

Chilling after a run

Astrid had a wonderful first experience skiing. All we were shooting for was a positive first experience, and it was. The guys at the rental gear shop were calling Astrid by name and showing her all of their pink and purple options in boots and skis. Needless to say, that was a great way to get her excited to hit the slopes: "I'm going to ski and I'm not going to fall, ever!", she declared to everyone in the shop.

Once on the hill, a seasoned dad taught us to "recharge" her before every run with gummies, and the Magic Carpet conveyor belt was a nice, and non-scary (unlike the lifts) respite between runs.

Now Astrid pretends to be skiing at home. Obviously Arthur is stoked and can't wait to continue to take her up the mountains for some more skiing fun.
