Daddy/Daughter Ski Day

My dad and I get together every year and plan a daddy/daughter

ski day. This year we decided to plan a trip up the mountains by Gunnison. So last Wednesday, I packed up the kids and my dog and drove down to Gunnison. I slept there over night and my dad and I got up the next morning and got ready for our adventure.

We packed our day packs and a lunch, dropped my kids off at my sister-in-law's house(thanks again so much Jenny) and headed up the mountain in my dad's truck, pulling the snow mobiles. Once we got to a good spot, we parked the truck and unloaded the snow mobiles. Then we drove further up the mountain to a great spot where we could put on our skies and go for a hike. And boy did we hike. We hiked up on top of the Black Mountain (for those who know the area). It's about 10,000 some feet in elevation. And what a beautiful day. I have never seen the sky so blue and there was no wind. It was such a blast. Here are a few pictures we took of each other that day.

And yes it was warm. We came home with farmer's tans.

I liked this next picture because you can see Mt Nebo and Timp way out in the background. You could see everything from where we were at. It was amazing! The snow on the mountain peaks made it a lot easier to point out different locations.

After skiing around on top the Black Mountain, we sat down and at our lunch and skied off, where we found the snow mobiles at the bottom and then drove them back to the truck. What a day!

Thanks dad, for such a fun day. I look forward to it again in 3 years. Until then, I will miss this a ton.
