Today was Nate's chance to go skiing for the first time with Grandma Lin and dad at the Bluewood ski area near Dayton. Nathaniel was excited for the opportunity to hit the slopes. We arrived at Bluewood to a chilly day, the temperature hovering around 10 degrees. We got all geared up and bundled ourselves in layers and headed for the platter pull on the bunny hill. Nate did great without much instruction. Then it was time for a lesson to help him be successful. Grandma arrived and went down a few runs with dad then we watched as Nate finished up his lesson. We put in a few more runs then went to the lodge to warm up and eat our lunch. After lunch, we put in as many more runs as possible before closing time. Nate kept progressing each run. Although it was a cold day with some scattered snow showers, it was a great day. The mountain was pretty crowded with winter break traffic but the lift lines were short. Along the edges of all the runs was 3 or more feet of awesome, fluffy powder so we had a ball blasting the powder and by the end of the day we were hitting a few jumps too! We'll sleep well tonight! A great day!
