I had been talking for quite a while about taking the kids skiing this winter, so we sort of did that last Saturday. Actually it was more of a field trip just to get them used to the idea. So we drove up to Bogus Basin to have a look around. They loved the chair lifts, the magic carpet, the lodge, the tubing hill etc. I think it's safe to say that we'll get back up as soon as possible and go skiing for real!
