Dave & Kat's Christmas trip to Powder Mountain


Emerson telling his grandpa Swenson all about skiing.



Well, we did it again. We went to Powmow with Kat's sisters and parents and respective families. This year we ended up unable to book the 70's condos across the street from the ski school; but in October a new cabin became available.
It was super-deluxe. Kat and I skied (boarded actually) right down onto the porch. We all fit in the same cabin (sixteen of us). We had a great time, and on Sunday we had a very nice family sacrament and testimony meeting.
This photo is the kids making a snow cave - that's Emerson with the frozen hands, and Ava in the blue coat. Their cousin, Revin, is scooping out the snow.

Ava is a super skier and goes right up the lift. Elisabeth has been riding the lift for a couple of years now. Emerson was deeply offended that he didn't have any skis, so I rented him the smallest boots and skis they had. He did great - he can ski just fine, it's the stopping that he doesn't quite "get".
The next photo is Emerson skiing. He turns and goes - but like I said - no stopping.







You'll remember that last year Kat's sister Karrin lost her little girl Forest during the night on New Year's eve, up there at Powder Mountain. We weren't sure if she would come this year, but she did. It was really great. We shared a lot of great memories and some tears and testimony.





I've also included a family photo, and one each of Elisabeth and Ava.

Yay, more pictures! Sounds like a great time. I can't wait to see Emerson now--he sounds like a riot! It was good to see you guys for a little bit. Let's meet up again the next time you're out here. You're welcome to stay anytime!
