Ski patrol

Last weekend was open, so we made a semi-spur of the moment decision to head out of town for a family ski trip.

We're still total beginners, but I think Molly made a lot of progress this past trip! She knows how to get on and off the chair lift now and can handle herself on the easy hills.

We made one mistake by encouraging her to try a next level hill ... it was a bit too steep and crowded and she ended up barreling down the hill like a runaway tire. Finally, she face planted to stop herself and we were quickly met by a member of the ski patrol who escorted her down the rest of the way. Oh the drama!

But, big girl that she is, Molly recovered and kept going for another day, so there was no lasting damage :) Hopefully we can get out again at least one more time this winter!

O'Gradys on ice!
