Winter Wonderland

We waited over an hour at Ski Apache for the "Torchlight Tree Parade" to start. It was freezing and we didn't really know what we were going to see. Finally they came down the mountain. Each skiier holding two torches and making a "tree" design. In the meantime they set off fireworks behind it. It was really amazing to see. Knowing how hard it is for ME to ski without falling, I think I appreciated it more.
Remington on her first day, ready to ski the tallest mountain. This before she actually put the skis on and tried to control them.
This is her teacher, Ms. Sandy. She said Remi did really great and even took her up on the lift to ride the Not So Bunny Slope with her. We were really scared to get Remi on and off the lift ourselves but managed just fine.
These smiles even though it is our last day and we are headed home. We had a great time and vow to go back before the next 11 years pass!!
Someone always decorates a tree on the way up to the ski lodge, and we like to take our picture with it. Only on the dangerous curves someone is watching for cars and I'm trying not to slip down the mountain so it is only Miss Remi this time.
