Nakiska

On our way home on Monday we took the kids to Nakiska for some snow boarding. Nakiska is where the Canadians train for the Olympics and it was used in the Calgary winter Olympics in 1988. The hills were huge! Even the bunny slopes had a chair lift and were bigger than the places we go in the city. The boys even went up a very long chair lift that took them over 1000 ft higher on the mountain.

The weather was still warm (34 F), but very snowy. In fact, it was the first time we have really seen snowman making snow. Its usually too cold for the snow to stick together. So, while the boys were gone, Mason made a snow man. He had a ton of fun.

Now we are home and enjoying the warmth of the house. Mason is already asking to fishing on grandpa's lake now.
