Spring Skiing - April 3, 2013

We've been waiting to reintroduce Lincoln to skiing. Waiting for warm weather so that it would be fun to play in the snow and go for a ride in the backpack.  It's finally here!  This morning, we drove up to Alta and Lincoln and James took three runs.

Lincoln loved watching all the action from the chairlift.

While the boys took their runs, I found a lawn chair and got a little sun.  A little too much, my forehead and cheeks are pink.  Such a lovely day!  I would prefer to go skiing with my guys, but the cost of a lift ticket for a handful of runs just didn't make sense.  I didn't even take my gear.

Family photo!

James and Lincoln out on the hill.

And a photo of Lincoln on the chairlift. 

Such a pretty day!  Linc and James are on the chair just passing the white lift tower in the middle of this photo.

And a few videos from today's adventures.
Video One - So Cool!  James and Lincoln on the chairlift. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbtAQTuFmTo)

Video 2 - interview after first ski run (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-kx3c83FgE)  I was impressed the Lincoln was wearing sunglasses. We bought them on our way to go skiing this morning and Lincoln wore them all around the store.  But he refused to let me put them on him at the resort. So James took Lincoln and the sunglasses and finally convinced Linc to wear his shades while they rode the lift.  Then he left them on (maybe because he was wearing mittens?) during the whole adventure.

Video 3 - Lincoln and James on the move - Lincoln sounds like an owl and someone on the slopes wants to know how old Linc is.  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-BwQugYo8E)

Video 4 - Lincoln and James' last run (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYt3_MXCBJw)  Nice skills James - ski, hold the camera and talk to Linc.
