Last day of skiing and snowboarding

April 20th 2006
Today was a dream come true for Muirenn AND me. It was our first day skiing together. For years I had dreamed about this moment, skiing with my kids. Our last winter storm had brought a fresh coating of snow to the mountains. We went to Steven Pass as Snoqualmie was already closed for the season. We kitted Muirenn up in ski's, boots and a helmet before doing a few practice runs on the bunny slopes. We then hopped on the ski lift and Muirenn was a complete natural getting on and off. Muirenn pointed her ski tips down hill and started to ski like she had been doing it for the past three years, not a grand total of three days! It was such a pleasure watching her speed down the mountain. I constantly had to tell her to slow down. We stuck to the same trail all day, apart from one occassion when we became a little too adventurous and ended up having to walk down the mountain! A wonderful day was topped off by a freshly cooked meal at home. See the photoshow on our photo page.
