Danny & I were totally spoiled today by Danny's parents looking after the boys so that we could have the day to ourselves. We started off having a late breakfast at Silverfork Lodge, a great bar & restaurant just before Solitude Ski Resort.

Next we headed up to Solitude and hit the slopes for some snowboarding. Today it finally clicked & I was linking turns coming down "Easy Street", the beginners slope. After perfecting some turns Danny took me up the Moonbeam chairlift & I scared myself coming down "Same Street". Have a look on the map & see if you can follow our path. After a beer in the heated pub overlooking the slopes we headed over to the Sunrise lift & headed down "North Star". It was very steep & I got pretty scared. There was so much snow that it was affecting our visibility & there was almost too much powder to try & board through. It was rough & I was tired so I ended up getting out of my bindings & walking down the last part of the slope. A big day but lots of progress!

So much snow!

We returned hot very soggy & sore to some welcoming children who have steadily deteriorated into grumpy children as the afternoon has progressed. Glad we had the morning off!
