Trip Diaries:

The lessons for the kids have been great not only because of what they are learning but because they give my husband Tolbert and I a chance to really ski the mountain.

It's funny, I had all of these plans of things to do and places to take the kids in Park City, and the only thing they want to do is ski!

The little taste of Park City skiing yesterday was not enough. With the two hour time change from the East Coast, they were up at 6 am asking when they should get dressed for skiing.

There’s a better way to get together with the family: Get together on vacation at a snow resort.

My daughter had been on skis before, but the experience, for me, was akin to dragging a 35 pound bag of flour down the mountain.

"I'm here! It took a little longer than expected but we made it!

It happens every time we go skiing. Half of the group wants to ski something more challenging and the other half wants to ski something less challenging.

First there was a text. Then a game of phone tag. Then a few more texts, a call and a meeting place.

Craft these cute and simple snowflakes using a coffee filter. They’ve already got the perfect shape, just fold and cut.

This morning I dropped my eight-year-old son off for his snowboard lesson at 9 am and my daughter off for her Signature 3 ski lesson at 9:45 am. By 9:47 am I was skiing alone for the first time in almost ten years.

Today was the day. The family snowboard lesson.

Non-crafty Snowmama, this one's for you.
