Girl O' Mt Hood

I've been wanting to take my girl sking for some time now. So two days shy of her third birthday we went to Skibowl on Mt Hood. Okay so I was thinking she would last a hour tops and just stick with me for the whole time. Little did I know that there lay beneath a dormant downhill monster.




Somehow she managed that turn on her own..don't ask me...

We stuck to the small hill with a rope tow instead of a chairlift. The rope ran pretty fast though. There were some memorable quotes from that day.

"Daddy, I want to go on the rope by my own"

"Daddy, do you think wolves live in the woods" to which I replied "Yes sweetie they do live there, you see those kids sitting down on the snow with their snowboards...God invented wolves to eat them because all snowboards are lazy stoners that lay around on the slopes and block the runs"

After a few hours I started asking her if she was ready to go after each run, thinking that she would implode any minute. I stopped asking after she said "I'm not going until all the snow is gone"...ahhhh nothing like fresh powder.
