Yes, it seemed like we were just at Mammoth and it was exactly one month ago. Round 2 to the ski resort, this time with my cousin Hannah in tow. This was her first (?) trip there and it was loads of fun. She took a 2 day snowboarding lesson and is now very sore. I think she is going to invest in some butt pads for future trips. The kids had a great time since there was a new person (victim) to talk to.
Like I said, our condo was probably the best one we stayed at so far except for the parking issue.
Also on this trip, Josh wasn't progressing along in his skiing as we'd like but an instructor told us about the disabled sports program which is one-on-one instruction. We signed Josh up for the morning session and the 2 person team took Josh on the chair lift for the first time. Well, the results were immediate and he just did great. He did what he was supposed to do so we're glad that we found out about it although it was a little late. Oh well, now we know for future trips. Hector took Josh skiing for the rest of the afternoon and has some great video of the runs.
The funny thing is that we arrived back home (Sunday night) and tomorrow morning Hector will be heading back up to Mammoth with He-man for a small mancation. They will be gone Monday to Thursday. So a little unpacking, repacking and off he goes again. This time he will have a nice time boarding without worrying about the kids or me!
Did I mention the great weather we had? We've been very lucky in the timing of our trips. We seem to the miss the storms and snow dumps by a week then get to enjoy the great spring-like conditions. Also, even though it was the weekend, Mammoth didn't seem too crowded which is great. It probably had to be due to the SuperBowl because the roads weren't too busy and we got home no problem with no delays.
Meeyai!!!
