Ski Trip to Utah, end of 2022

Another year, same place - only this time Stephen got to ski, too! The big kids refused lessons even though they could have really used them and went on their own, while Stephen took lessons the first day, and after than he was ok just accompanied by Robb on the Magic Carpet lift. He learned how to turn and stop in no time, but the little punk wasn't satisfied with only going down around the cones, no! Every other run he'd go off between some trees on the side of the main path. By the third day he asked to go on a chair lift with the older kids. I thought it was too early and mainly worried that he'd get scared of getting on and off the lift, but we got him a pass anyway. He did great! He zigzagged down the run without losing control and kept going all day and the next few days. The snow was great this year, again. There was some fresh powder, not of the epic kind we had last year, but this trip for me was all about moguls. I found a run that had barely anthing but perfect moguls that apparently were not popular with the crowd, so I had a whole run, top to bottom, all to myself on many occassions. Incredible!
