And so it begins. We went down to the mountain today. We picked up the girls' season passes and they had a chance to get on the mountain for a while. The girls had a chance to ski for about 2 hours before we had to head home to get Rosie Jane to dance. I knew it wouldn't be for long today but they have season passes so it's ok. Funny thing was that Rosie Jane, on her first run, dropped her mitten from the chairlift. Fortunately, she knew where she dropped it (near the base) so she could walk up and get it. No fun in ski boots!
The ski area opened on Tuesday, although they've only got three runs open. They're looking rather skimpy by now though. They had great snow making weather at the end of last week and early this week but today when we were there it was about 60*! The snow they did have was slowly melting along the edges. Didn't matter, the girls had a good time and Sweet Pea was really happy to be snowboarding again. It's supposed to get cold again tomorrow and tomorrow night so they should be able to get making snow again.
Sadly, they decided to cancel Saturday's practice. The good news is that I don't have to get up at 5:30 to get Sweet Pea down to the mountain. The bad news is that the first practice keeps getting pushed out (no fault of theirs though, they're just about the only ski area open in the Mid-Atlantic). I gave the girls the option of heading down on Saturday anyway, but I think we'll stay home, do some cleaning, wrap presents, and make some cookies. We'll get in enough ski time this winter, I could really use the day on these other things.
