Ski Trip, Day 2 (a little late!)

Greetings from the lodge at Winterplace! Day 2 of the trip marked the kick-off of a ski fest that will last until Sunday night.  On Friday, we enjoyed day of great weather and light crowds, which was great for our first time skiers. 

Sojo and Adelaide learned to ski thanks to Carlsen's Ski School:

At last report, they graduated from Bunny Slope to Green Slopes and are now tackling their first blue runs, proving that Carlsen's instruction is worth every penny (and would be even if it weren't free!).

We enjoyed some lunch in the lodge before hitting the slopes in the afternoon:

And, in honor of her 14th birthday today and Casey's 16th birthday last Friday, Adelaide and I made some cakes (without measuring cups!), which we'll enjoy tonight:

More updates later tonight.  Happy Saturday, everyone!
