Utah Ski Trip

We went to Utah to try our hand at some downhill skiing...the view from the plane is just too hard to put into words. God's artwork is just stunning!

We got to the place we rented and quickly hopped in to enjoy the private hot tub!

Meanwhile, Claire got tired of the hot tub and decided to play in the snow in her swimsuit! Thankfully it was fairly warm outside. It was so fun watching her have a blast in the snow!

The next morning we headed to Park City to try out some downhill skiing. Claire was excited to get going and learn how to ski!

Thankfully, this park had a wonderful beginner practice hill for us to learn how to ski on. It had a conveyor belt to ride up and then a small slope to ski down.

After spending about an hour on this beginner slope, we were able to hop on the chair lift and try our hand at a much bigger slope.

Claire and I were both very hesitant and went most of the way down in a V-shape to keep from going to fast! 

The views were just amazing...minus Jeff being his crazy self in the back of our picture!

Claire decided that skiing wasn't really her thing and she decided to sit out a bit and make a mini snowman while Jeff and I went down a few more times. 

Back at our rental, Claire worked at making a snowman in the chair....

and the next morning, this is what became of her snowman in the chair! The weather was very warm (which I loved!), running in the 50s and low 60s during the day. No chance her snowman was going to survive that!
