My Scrumptious Ski Bunny

I was able to get in two FANTASTIC ski days while I was home. I took Samara once too. I know that to 99% of the general population their child skiing is the last thing they could care about. I'm part of that one percent who cares.We headed up to the bunny hill at Deer Valley with my cousin Jeanne and her darling girls, Aspen and Sage. The girls had a blast together. They were so sweet to Samara and I think it was good for her to see them doing it. Samara has told me several times that "next time you can go on the big hill, mom. I will stay on the 'ittle hill with Jeanne's 'ittle girls because 2-year olds can ski by their own there." I thought she'd be at least 8 or 9 before she started ditching me to ski with friends.

The first run down didn't go so great and Samara fussed, "I want my papa to teach me!" She didn't like me controlling her speed, but I had to since she couldn't stop on her own yet. We took a potty and lunch break and once we got back out there, she loved the afternoon. She skied for 2.5 more hours and it was tough to get her to stop. I was beat by the end of the day and don't know how I used to do this day in and day out sometimes for 10 days in a row. I know I should be proud of things like being polite and sharing, but I am still beaming about her skiing so well and enjoying the day so much. She had great balance and coordination.


With the exception of terrain, there is NO resort that compares to Deer Valley's bathrooms, lifts, service, and food. These cookies are reason enough to ski. I LOVE Deer Valley!
