More Easter Fun

We spent Easter at Mt Hood Meadows. The Cascade Mountains have been getting pummeled this spring- 6 feet in the last 10 days! Grammy Pam was in town to help out and babysit so off we raced to Mt Hood.

Powder! Powder! Powder! And more powder! The mountain was epic. We bumped into friends on the Shooting Star Chair and did laps until ski patrol finished avalanche bombing Lower Heather Canyon. We missed the opening by a few minutes but we still had fresh tracks down the canyon. Such good snow! Good times...

The line was stupid huge on the Heather Chair getting out of the canyon so we rode all the way down to the Hood River Meadows parking lot, lodge and chair. There was nobody on the HRM Chair so I thought it would be smart to check out Fright Trees. If the tree run was good we could lap it and not fight the crowds. Turns out Fright Trees lived up to the name. Bad times...

We made it. Sara is a trooper. We worked our way back to the lodge. After a quick snack we suited up Eli and took her outside to play in a sled. Eli really enjoyed being pulled around in the sled. More good times...

More sledding action...

Fun in the snow on Easter. Good times (mostly).

and then...it snowed AGAIN

Greg and I cruised down to Cathedral Park on Monday to check out the snowboarding possibilities. As we approached the park it became pretty evident that Greg wasn't going to want to stay for the originally planned 30 to 45 minutes. It was a snow park! There were little kickers all over the place and the stairs were so covered they made a fun little ramp. I was pretty jealous standing there watching him play. Blah. Oh well...maybe this will happen again...

This last week has definitely been exciting here in the Portland Metro area. I can honestly say that I'm ready for the snow to melt! Even a little rain would be a welcome sight! There is no doubt we'll have a white Christmas this year.
