Sledding

We only had ski tickets for Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday but we were really close to buying them for Friday since the forecast looked beautiful. But we had some other factors that helped us to decide to just have on last full day in Sunriver. 

 

We took the kids over to the sledding hills which were 1/2 a mile from our rental house. 

 

They weren't the greatest hills and the snow was still a bit thin but the kids had some fun and it was a great way to get outside on a very cold day. 

 

 

Skiing Candids

A few more random candid pictures from our trip to Mt. Bachelor. A lot of these were taken on the kid's phones which is so fun to see.

 

Tuning & Waxing

Before our ski trip started Brad had asked Dave where we could get our skis tuned (since they haven't been tuned and waxed in a few years). Dave gave him some ideas and then said he had some tuning equipment and could do it at his house. Brad thought it would take a few hours to tune 9 skis (7 of ours and 2 of the Welke's). It took a little bit longer than that. :) 

 

Dave and Mark were both so patient and so helpful in teaching Darby, Colt and Ryker to tune and wax their skis. 

 

They found a deer wandering at the neighbor's house.

 

Powder Day!

We went up on Tuesday and the weather conditions were pretty miserable.  We didn't take any pictures.   The kids actually did really well despite the situation and it was only Bo and I that needed to go into the lodge to get warmed up.  We still had a fun time skiing as the snow was starting to fall and it was good snow. 

We went back on Wednesday for an EPIC powder day!  The kids had a blast skiing in powder since they had never really done that before.   

Our last day there was Thursday and it was a low of 3 degrees and a high of 9.  Great skiing but very cold!
