March 9, 2013, Mission Ridge SUNSHINE!

Fresh snow, warm weather and sunshine at Mission Ridge.  I took my kids on an adventure outside the ski area boundary to one of my favorite short lap spots which is the bowl above the snow making reservoir.  I packed their skis for them on the uphill sections (there are two on the way in and one on the way out).  We had a picnic with cocoa and we went slow enough so no-one cried.  An awesome day.  The perfect day.

That made me smile!

Soooo cute. Made me smile too.

Mike, The short people had a great day. They can ski, climb, take video of you skiing and best is eating peanut butter, jam with butter on the bread and of course cocoa. Their smiles are priceless.  We are working on our grandsons and the look on the boys face is wonderful.
