More Skiing!

These pictures are from Lookout. We were there three or so weeks ago.



Getting ready for the rope tow.
Rope tow! Avery mastered this on her own
when she and papa went up the next time. Amazing!
Rope tows are difficult!

Skiing!

These pictures and videos are from the first week in January. We went down to Boise right after Christmas and skied with Grandpa Gary and Uncle Jesse. Avery is loving skiing this year. She is doing a great job and having so much fun! Her favorite part of skiing is the Magic Carpet, skiing around cones, and riding the chair lift. We have video of her skiing around cones at Bogus and its super cute. It was her very favorite thing. She did it a million times. It really helps with turning.
There's not much snow in the northwest this year, but we have still managed to get out as much as we can. I say "we" and really mean Eric and Avery since I'm not skiing this year. I miss it SO much! Next year though!
Thanks Jesse for taking these photos and video!


Bending the knees.



Arms out.




This video is great with a nice crash in the end.
She recovers really well though. She just laughs
and gets right back up. She doesn't have very far
to fall!

Ski Outing

These pictures are from three or so weeks ago. We headed out on Moscow Mountain on a beautiful weekend day with Uncle Zak and Ali. We had a great time. Avery was getting used to her little Karhu skis. It was hard for her going up hill but she loved that she could use her ski poles! Something she doesn't use on the ski mountain.

Ready to go!

Uncle Zak providing some advice.

Eventually the skis came off and it was much easier
to walk with her poles.

Zak, Ali, Avery, and papa.


Avery needed a lift towards the end.
It was lunch and nap time.
