Jon was planning to go skiing with a friend and then Kyla made him feel guilty saying "I really want to go skiing with you." So instead of heading to Alyeska, Jon took us up to Hatcher's Pass, which is the mountains just behind are house. There are no chair lifts, it is popular for back country skiing. Jon knew of a fun little area that is groomed for sledding, so we took the sled and Kyla's skis and hiked up to get a few runs in. Kyla had not skied yet this winter and she was not too happy getting ski boots on, they are not comfortable and she loves to be comfortable. She finally was comfortable enough in them to do a little skiing. At first Jon was pulling her up in the sled, then she started getting shoulder rides up and loved that, plus that made it so she didn't have to even take her skis off. She did a few runs and then fell and got snow in her face and that was it. She absolutely hates getting her face wet. We did a couple runs down the hill on the sled after skiing and then headed home. It got a little windy up there and was just a bit too cold for her be outside. I loved the area we went and we will definitely head up there more this winter for more fun in the snow sledding and skiing.
