Cherry Peak Day 2

We had two rooms in the hotel, but Dax was up early, and he made sure everyone else was up by 7:30, too. We felt surprisingly not sore, and everyone was excited to get back and try skiing again. Though a winter storm warning had threatened to shut down northern Utah, the skies were clear, so we weren’t in any hurry. In fact, after breakfast in the hotel, we let the boys swim for a little while before heading back up to Cherry Peak.

The boys love swimming!

It was much snowier and colder on the mountain, but the boys headed straight up the slopes while Mom and Seth continued to practice on the bunny hill. There were a lot more skiers, but that didn’t stop us. We went all the way up the second lift. Then Mark led us down a steep tube called the chimney. He did great, Dax did well, and Dad had multiple crashes! Luckily, we all survived, though.

Seth hardly fell today. He became a pro!

The older boys braved the snow to try some harder runs.

They did great!

When we got back, we were really excited to take Mom and Seth on the bigger run. At first, Seth was really afraid of going over the edge. But after he saw there was a nice lip along the trail, he did great. He only crashed once or twice, and he controlled his speed really well. Mom did okay, too, though she didn’t love it. She crashed a few times and only got a little upset with Dad for taking her up that lift.

Seth was excited to try the bigger runs on the mountain.

Seth really got the hang of it. Mom did not!

Mark was so patient with Mom. He helped her all the way down.

This pic is from the first day when it was sunny and clear. Look above at the difference.

We had lunch at the resort around three and then did a little tubing. The tubing run was short, but it was fun. We rode up the magic carpet and then shot down the canal in a tube. It was really fast and you had very little control, but only Mom walked away with a sore tailbone. We were supposed to stay and tube in the dark, but we were just so worn out that we headed back to Logan. 

Seth and Mom found bunnies on the bunny slope.

Mark might have skied into the ditch! 

The food was really yummy at Cherry Peak.

While Dad slept and the boys watched a movie, Mom slipped out to grab some dinner. She got the boys Panda Express and Wendy’s and then took Dad to a Mongolian Barbecue place, so everyone was happy! We ended the night with another Utah Jazz win, so it was a great day!

Seth waved at Mom even though he went backwards.

Dax zipped down the hill. 

Mark enjoyed tubing but liked skiing better.

The tubing run was speedy.

Dad takes great videos and pics!

We watched the Jazz game in the hotel.
