Friday, me and Natalie went skiing!! The school had a skiday so we went with the Swanz familly to Showdown. Showdown is a smaller skiarea about 2 h west of the ranch. It has 4 lifts and 30 + slopes. Half of them more advanced, half green and blue... It was a very convenient place to go ski with a child for the first time, not so big and a kid friendly atmosphere. The facilities might need some updating but they serve their purpose and it's good for schools to go ski here.
Natalie got to go to the skischool for a couple of hours. It was a very good start to do that, even if she at first was a little to eager to put both skiis on and go... I stayed and watched her and it was a memorable moment to see her skiing for the first time!!
After skischool, me and Natalie were hitting the big slope... We actually took the chairlift up ( can't believe she dared to so quick...it) and then we could enjoy a long and perfect slope with plenty of time to learn all the way down to the valley. I can definately say that after a few rounds of "holding" Natalie (at little kid knee level) with my skipole, my legs and back were dead... BUT she learned a lot and did good!
( ♡ Pappa nu vet jag hur sega dina lårmuskler var under åren du åkte så med mig!)
We had a wonderful day and ended it over dinner, wine and laughter together with the Swanz's. Both me and Natalie really enjoyed having a day just the two of us and Jamie had a fun day alone with Daddy! Now I must plan another trip before this season is over...Showdown is worth another visit and then (with more skiing for Mama) we have Bridger Bowl and fashionable Big Sky a 2 h drive from the ranch!
(Ps. I know it was bad that she didnt wear a helmet, but they were out of them! So before next time we have to buy one!)
