We went to Squaw Valley, California for our Spring Break Ski Trip this year. They got over 5 feet of snow when we were there!
Riding in the gondola on the first day. It was a good day of skiing.
Nice and clear, with not much wind.
That was not the case for most of the days there. Mostly it was very windy, and snowy and cold.
It was still fun, but it was hard to see.
We're over here, Mom!
One day it was snowing at the top of the mountain, but raining down in the village. Mom and I decided not to ski after we saw that Daddy was soaked from his morning skiing. We all had lunch in the village and definitely needed some hot cocoa.
And we all spent the afternoon painting pottery!
This was the view at the top of the big cable car. That water behind Mom is Lake Tahoe. This was on the last day when the skies were finally blue. It was still windy and snowy, you can see the snow whipping across Mom and Dad's faces.
Squaw Valley has lots of open bowls like this to ski in. So pretty!
Daddy in his new mustard suit. Hey, it's waterproof.
Me, hitting the slopes!
Mom is smiling because she just made it down the steep and very windy black diamond!
On our last day of our trip, there was another big snowstorm predicted, so we decided to drive to Reno, NV early and get a hotel there. We stayed at a huge casino that had a movie theater, shopping, restaurants, and a giant arcade in it. We all had to ride the mechanical bull in the arcade!
Daddy getting crazy on that bull!
The bull was so slippery, I had to hold on tight! It was fun and really funny when we fell off!
