Skiing in Tahoe

Last weekend I went on an adventure to Lake Tahoe! I was all ready to go to bed on the Friday night, when lo and behold I was put into my carseat in mummy's car instead! I immediately fell asleep though as I was really tired. The next thing I know it's morning and I'm in a strange place! A big cabin with lots of new things to investigate. We are a happy family of Mummy, Daddy, Tommy and myself. After a leisurely morning, I get dressed in my cool ski gear and we head out to Northstar which is a ski resort close by. I'm upset cos I don't get to ski or play in the snow, but Mummy and Daddy take turns to ski and I play in the kids playroom. We go for a ride in a gondola and I look out of the window at all of the big snowy mountains!




Here is a photo of me doing apres-ski at a warming hut at Northstar as we waited for Daddy to finish skiing:





The next day we decided to go on a backcountry tour up Pole Creek near Squaw Valley. Tommy was sooo happy that he was going to go out for a big walk in the snow! I was put into a backpack carrier on Mummy's back and off we went! I was not feeling too good today, but was quite happy to be snug and warm against Mummy's back. She also put some handwarmers in beside my feet so they felt quite toasty!








Here I am being carried by Mummy:





I am asleep for quite a long time, then when I waken up it's time for lunch! Yippee!








Daddy and I enjoying our lunch!














Mummy wants a photo with me too!









Now it's Daddy's turn to ski back down the path with me.








Here we are setting off...





Daddy skied quite fast down the hill and I really enjoyed it! Tommy tried to keep up but Mummy was soon lef t behind and we had to wait for her. She said she was enjoying the views but we knew that she was just slow. At one point I was amazed to see her appear as if like magic skiing through the trees! It was great fun! I hope we get to do it again soon!

ps. Later on Mummy told me that the only reason she was skiing slowly was because she had a bet on with Daddy as to how long it would take to get back to the car. He thought it would only take 20 minutes, whereas she thought 40 minutes. Luckily it took about 30 minutes so they were both happy!
