First Day of the Season.

We made it up to Snowbird on Saturday for our first day of the season as a family.  As planned we left later in the day and then skied until the lifts closed.  We find this to be the most fun if we aren't expecting powder because we have the slopes almost to ourselves for most of the time.  When we arrived at the base it was raining and it didn't look fun at all.  Jen wanted to bail right then and there but I kept a positive outlook and made her wait a few minutes because I could tell the rain was just about to turn to snow and sure enough it did.  It was a wet snow but still much better than skiing in rain.  It turned out to be such a fun first day.  Both kids ripped it up on the slopes.  It's amazing how they don't forget over the long summer, like riding a bike I guess.  Below are a few pictures.  We're now getting excited for Thanksgiving!

Hendrix had been hitting this jump all day and he crashed about every time.  Still, he kept trying but as you can see he was a little apprehensive in the end.  Lily never had any problems with it.
