One good thing about having a lot of snow this winter was that conditions were excellent for skiing! I took Aila and Jade over to Hockley Valley and we got there just in time to sign up for lessons, which was great because Jade had never gone skiing before.

After a few trips down the bunny hill, the instructor took them over to the chairlift and up to the top of the mountain. This was a photo I took of the two of them coming down the big hill for the first time.

After the lessons were over, the two of them had a blast doing that same run again and again. They were both hooked on skiing after this, and for the next trip we invested in some better equipment, like ski goggles and warmer gloves.
