Fun on the Slopes

We got up and out bright and early Saturday for Stace and the girls to have a skiing adventure at Big Bear Snow Summit. Stace hadn't skiied in decades, so he signed up for an adult lesson with Cora, while Violet took part in a kids lesson.
 

Following Friday evening's storm, it was a gorgeous day, and we overheard experienced skiiers say these were the best conditions they'd ever seen at Big Bear. 

Cora loved it all, while Stace enjoyed the skiing, but was in physical pain during the lesson from trying to follow the instructor's directions. Apparently his hips and knees aren't designed to point THAT way anymore.

Who's that masked gal?

We were incredibly blessed with good friends lending us skiing gear - pants, coats, helmets, gloves, etc. Cora here is sporting my friend Jen's vintage Burton coat.

Two thumb's up from the girl who wasn't sure she wanted to ski at all!

Stace absolutely loved this day of creating memories with his girls. He thanked me over and over for arranging it. So happy he (and the girls) had such a fun time together.

Oh, I was there, too! I read in the car for a while, and then came out to watch as Stace decided he was done with his lesson a little early. We had lunch together - pretty darn good food, too - and then they went down the hill a few more times before we went back to the cabin to rest.
