This was Penelope's first time skiing. She did great! She was pretty comfortable balancing on the skis, but when it came to moving fast, she didn't like it. She woke up really early, so by the time she had her lesson, she was cranky and ready for a nap.
After her nap, she was excited to go back up on the slopes and try again. She was doing really well, until a snow boarder crashed into her. Ah well, she got back up again anyway. She's a trooper!
I can't tell you how amazing our stay was up at Crystal Mountain. The views were amazing! Here's a picture of my skiers and Mount Rainer.
We had to squeeze in a little hike before we went home. This trail was beautiful. There was snow dusted moss everywhere and the forest just seemed so bright because of the snow. For some reason Penelope hikes way faster in the snow. Here I am trying to catch up with her.
