Eldora Classic

Yesterday we drove up to Eldora Mountain for some classic skiing in the nordic area. It was a beautiful day - super sunny with not a cloud in sight. This was my first time towing Xander on snow with the Chariot CTS XC Ski conversion kit. The kit worked great and it was super easy towing him around... on level ground. On inclines/declines, it was a bit tougher. On the way down a rather large hill I felt like a semi-truck that had lost all my brakes. Thankfully nobody was coming up the hill in my path!

A January classic

Xander got a taste of what's to come in later life when we took him classic skiing out to Tumalo Falls. (Is 1 month to early to introduce winter sports? ;) Accompanying us on our trip were Deb, Aaron, and Allison. It was lightly snowing, no wind to speak of, and perfect snow conditions. Here's a shot of us next to the creek...



(In order to avoid a scenario where I crashed on the skis with baby Xander (read: newbie), Chelle had pack-mule duty. Baby Bjorn rocks!)
