We had another great trip skiing this year! You can't beat the homeschool discount. Our 3rd year in a row. We were sad that KG couldn't ski this year but she and V enjoyed their time with Grandma.
We always have some lessons learned from our trip- this year:
1- always ask for the lesson for all the kids- and next year have everyone take the lesson!
2- there's no line for check in at 9!
3- there's a microwave at the hotel lobby
4- pack sunscreen
5- wear knee braces if you need them
