Waterville Valley Ski Trip

 We made our first ski weekend trip of the year to Waterville Valley, NH.  It was the first time for Kristin and Sage there and I had not skied WV since 1989.  Conditions were excellent as  Mother Nature hit us with yet another snow storm just before we arrive.  Temps were single digits and the winds were 15-20 mph at the top, but that didn't stop the fun.  

Sage's skiing is improving.  She continues to ski every week at our local Nashoba Valley.  Her big run of the weekend was down True Grit.  It is a steep, double black diamond run.  She cruised from top to bottom without stopping.  Better still, more than half the run was done without snowplow.  It was great to see her confidence push away the fear of the steeps.  We saved the bumps on True Grit for next year, but Sage did ski the moguls on the blues and did some glade skiing.

Rayne did not make the trip this time.  She and Laila had a weekend at Grammy and Gramp's.  Word is that everyone had a great time there as well.  It was Rayne's first multi-night stay away from Mom and Dad.  

Next trip is to British Columbia and Whistler for two days in March.
