Snowboarding with the kids

Sadie, Gaige and I hit Teton Village, Jackson Hole Wyoming on Saturday Dec. 15th. It was an awesome day and a great experience for me as a father. They have both improved since thier first attempt at snowboarding a little more than two weeks ago at Big Sky, MT. It was one of those perfect days to a seasoned skier/snowboarder. Snowed all day, but was light enough to enjoy it.

Gas to get there and back: $50.00
Three Tickets for the Beginner chairlift: $15.00
3 hot chocolates for some very tired kids: $8.00
Seeing your kids hang with thier cousins and have no need for dad's help: Priceless

Seeing that video make me get excited to get out on the mountain with my family, too! I look forward to the near future when we can zoom around the whole mountain with our kids and show them the cool places and tricks we did when we were their age.

I remeber when I took my own kidos up the mountain for a day of skiing. I will agree, it is priceless. I hope to join you next time, since I am saddened by missing witnessing them snowbaord in real life.

It's neat to see Dad's take kids to experience and learn to enjoy the outdoors. Get ready for ski trips with the MHS ski club. Jackson 1/12 Sun Valley 2/1-2 Big Sky 2/22-23 and Big Sky is 2 days of skiing. Check out the at http://d321.k12.id.us/main/. Go to Madison High/faculty/Robyn Eastin/documents/ski club calender.
