Skiing at CP

With all of the snow we've received lately, I decided to take the boys skiing.  Ardell and Charlene were happy to come up and babysit Tanner so we could go.  Chase had football weight lifting in the morning so we left around 11:00 to go for a half a day.  Matt had to work but he got off work in the afternoon for a couple of hours but then he had to go back in.  At least he saw his parents for a little bit.  So for Martin Luther day we tried a new resort.  It was supposed to open last year but there wasn't enough snow so this is their first official snow season.  It's call Cherry P and it's in Richmond so it took about 45 minutes to get there which was nice.  It's a small resort but it's perfect for the boys to brush up on their skills.  I was worried that the snow would be crusty because it's been a few days since we've had some fresh snow.  But the snow was great!  They have wide trails.  The best part was that it wasn't busy!  I was worried with it being a holiday but we didn't have anything to worry about after all.  We felt like we were there with just a few people.  We never waited more than two minutes to get on the lift!  Bridger said "we found our new Sundance."  We've really missed Sundance so this will be perfect!  

This is a view looking down at Cache valley.  You can see the inversion.  It was nice to get out of it for the day.  I was worried that it would be too cold because it was only 17* but we stayed toasty until the last couple of runs.  At one point Chase wanted to take his coat off but I wouldn't let him.  I'm so impressed with how hard the boys work.  After a couple of runs down, Chase was really struggling but he didn't give up.  By the end of the day, he was cruising down the hills.  Bridger is really doing well with his turns.  He's working on parallel turning.

It was a great day skiing!!!
