Timberline 2014

Timberline Ski Resort

Mt. Hood, OR

February 2014

To Remember: This is our second year skiing at Mt. Hood.  We had been able to take full advantage of a time share condo in Welches, OR (base of Mt. Hood) and have totally enjoyed visiting Welches and the local ski resorts there.  The girls are used to going to the condo, eating at the pizza joint, and swimming and hot-tubbing at the clubhouse. 

This year we were lucky enough to be able to use our Snow Basin season passes and redeem a free lift ticket at Timberline thru the Powder Alliance.  We all skied for 'free' two days, and left Malan at the condo with a fabulous babysitter that I found online through a childcare website.  Ben and I love having time to focus on Maria and make memories with her.  She has such a great sense of humor. She loves to laugh, make funny faces on the lift, sing out, tell her Dad to do all kinds of wacky things (ie, laugh like a crazy man, cry like a baby, make animal noises).

Maria's edgey wedgey snapped in two on our first day.  There were some tears (and pain), but it was definitely for the better when it came to improving Maria's skiing ability.

The weather was typical Oregon.  It POURED!!! We were drenched.  The ridership (paid customers) on the mountain our first day was something like 28. 28! What?!  Ben and I were drenched to the skin. Maria was dry and warm and never once complained about being cold.

Maria gives her little thumbs up all throughout the day, and requested that we all do it in the picture to document our Timberline ski days, but we didn't (boo on us).
