We booked our trip to Sugarloaf last September when the prices were low and the kids were free. We were a little worried that we would be wasting our money this year given the lack of snowfall and warmer temperatures. We were pleasantly surprised at the great snow conditions! As a result, there was almost no one skiing there are we never had to wait in line at a chairlift the whole time we were there.
The kids have all progressed so far this year with their skiing. Noah and James can now skin almost anything and love the black diamond trails over in the King Pine Bowl. Ben can ski any Blue trail and is certainly ready for some black diamonds, but prefers not be go too far outside of his comfort zone. Audrey took her first few runs down Tote Road and did amazingly well. She also got her first black eye as a result of skiing when she had an impressive yard sale at one of the steeper sections of the trail. She is a trooper though and finished the run.
Grammy and Grampy joined us for a night on Tuesday and got to see the kids enjoy rock climbing that afternoon. We all skied the next day and James took his first trip down Misery Whip, mostly as a result of his persistent asking and us finally relenting. I think it would have been a bit better with some snow, but he did really well and loved it. The conditions weren't great on our last day and everyone's goggles kept icing up, but we enjoyed ourselves anyway:)
Not surprisingly, the day after we left Sugarloaf we got a huge snowstorm... So, Gabe took Noah and James and headed back for a powder day. They had a good time until Gabe realized that powder isn't easy to ski in unless you have strong, adult legs... oh well!
