NYR 2-16-14

Today we went to Liberty Mountain Resort to ski.  Well, the boys went to ski.  I went to sit in the lodge and read the newspaper.

The resort is the same place we went snow tubing last month and is only 1 1/4 hours from us. They got more than 15 inches of new snow on Thursday and and another 3 inches on Friday.  We wanted to go on Saturday but because of the forecast for more snow on Saturday, we were nervous about driving our little car up into the mountains. 

So we waited until Sunday, along with about 7200 of our closest friends from the area who all had the same thought.  The place was a complete madhouse.  It took over an hour in line just to get equipment. 

(An idea of the craziness waiting to get skis)

With the exception of a quick lunch break for hamburgers alfresco in the falling snow, the boys skied for more than 4 hours.

I'm so thankful to live close enough to ski slopes to give Mac another chance to perfect his Bodie Miller-esque moves.
