Snow play at 8,000 feet

We have had a wonderful time enjoying the snow and prolonged stay at Tahoe.  Though the snow is not 8 feet deep like it was three years ago, there is still plenty to enjoy.

Philip learned to ski and by the end of the day he was skiing straight down one of the steepest slopes!

 

The rides up the hill were peaceful but also quite warm.  Most of us were down to one layer pretty quickly with temperatures in the 60s.

 

We visited our all time favorite, private, sledding hill which we are guessing to be at 8,500 feet.  The view was gorgeous.

 

Preparing the jumps.

 

Getting ready to hit it…

 

she made it!

 

The sled stuck to the jump while Davis continued on.

 

The sled obviously won the height contest.

 

Airborne above the sled.

 

No hands!

 

Beat you to the bottom!!!

 

God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.  For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

Job 37:5-6

 

Finally the snow fights began.  Luke, Kyle, and Momma were the main players.

 

I think this one was aimed at Luke.

 

Daddy and Davis worked on this huge snowman for quite a while.  He was finally complete with a handlebar mustache:)

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Isaiah 55:10-11
