Snow Days!

We recently had a super time playing in the snow up in Bear Valley! We rented a house with our friends Mag, Carlo, Andrea, and Gabe, and their kids Adrian, Simon, David, and Sadie.

When we first arrived, I was a little skeptical about the place. The house itself was great, but they don't plow the roads in Bear Valley's residential areas. This meant a short walk dragging sleds with our stuff in them to the house. Since we got there on a Friday evening, it was getting dark and the walk, which was only about a block and 1/2, seemed pretty long. The snow/ice was a bit slippery, too so there were a couple tumbles on the way.

In the morning, however, the surroundings were beautiful and the location was great. In the sunlight the walk to the car and Bear Valley Village was no problem at all! Below are some pics/videos from our snow trip. We were surprised at how daring our little sledder was and hope to get back there again next winter!








Here's a video of tyson and Adrian's first attempt at sledding...



Here's one after they got good at it!



And, the Big Race!
