We had a week of vacation after Christmas, so we decided to head to Grand Targhee, Wyoming for some skiing/snowboarding with the kiddos. When Mike and I lived in Idaho, Targhee had always been our favorite ski resort, but we hadn't been back in 8 years. We also hadn't been back to Pocatello, Idaho since we moved away in January 2005. It was high time we made a visit!
 |
| We headed out through western North Dakota. |
 |
| We spent a night in Bozeman, Montana on the way. The kiddos built forts
in the hotel room the next morning while they waited for the pool to
open. |
 |
| Heading south from Bozeman. |
 |
| More snow in the Big Sky/West Yellowstone area! |
 |
| Dane along the Gallatin River. |
 |
| Almost to Targhee- Driggs, Idaho. |
 |
| When we arrived at Targhee, this was the view from our room, with beautiful snow lightly falling. |
 |
| Grand Targhee Village |
 |
| We took Nora and Dane to ski school for two days, mostly so that Mike and I could really take full advantage of mountain skiing again! |
 |
| We were so happy for bluebird skies with a beautiful view of the backside of the Tetons. |
 |
| Looking back at our first run. If you look carefully, you can see the chairlift at the very top. |
 |
| At the end of our days, we would make a couple of runs with Dane and Nora after their ski lessons. They both became little pros! |
 |
| We spent our last day skiing together. |
 |
| It was very cold the last day which caused some beautiful sun dogs. |
 |
| We ate dinner slopeside New Year's Eve and enjoyed some fireworks. |
 |
| Dane tried to stay awake to ring in 2013. He didn't quite make it, and neither did we! |
 |
| We had lots of beautiful new snow our last day, so Mike and I took turns making some final powder runs while the other skied with the kiddos. |
 |
| We had some ugly winter driving and icy roads on the way home, but we made it safely. |
We left Targhee for a day to visit our old friends in Pocatello, Idaho. It was so fun to catch up, but I didn't take a single photo! At least we have the memories!
