Skiing in the Smokies

Chas · January 11, 2018 ·

This past weekend my family was blessed with a trip to the mountains of North Carolina to go skiing! We had a wonderful time! 
This was the first time that any of my family had tried to ski, so to be sure, this was an experience! 
But after a little practice they did really well! 
My sister’s crew!
These four were the late owls who stayed til late with Uncle Chris!
Here’s Carlie learning to put her skis together in the front to help her stop!
Kade did a spread eagle! 😉 
What crew of cuties!
The first night we were there Shannon and Eli gave snowboarding a try.
They swapped over to skis after a little while, thinking it might be best to learn to crawl before you can walk… this was their first time at trying any of it! 
Here’s the nighttime crew! 
Chris, Kade, Logan, Hunter, Elijah, and Shannon
Deacon enjoying a few minutes in the snow! 
Cameo and Houston started out with snowboarding and they did well! A few bumps and bruises and falls, but they persevered! 
I asked Shannon to send me pics and he sent me the one above. 😉 
He’s so funny, and a cutie too!
Hunter (my little brother) was the only pro of the group. Chris got a picture of him from the chair lift. 
Then he got a pic of a wipe out too. haha
It was such a fun time! We hope to try and go skiing again sometime in the future!
