Winter was not just bad - even though it was really cold and long. We also took advantage of all the snow we had and went skiing for a long weekend here in NY. After the kids had done ski school in Austria :-)
Ben had found a fun little motel to stay in Windham, NY - the Copper Kettle. We had a big room with 2 big beds. Breakfast was included and they had a lounge/ bar area where we could hang out. It was really nice with the kids: they had a toy box in one corner, a pool table in another corner and other kids from the motel running around. Unfortunately they did not serve dinner there - only wings and beer. We had some drinks there before and after dinner and went for some pizza nearby.
Skiing was actually really nice. We got there Friday night and went just straight to bed. On Saturday morning we had a spring like day: warm and nice weather. We skied at Hunter Mountain. The kids did great on the beginner slopes and the magic carpet. We even went on the chair lift with them. In between kids skiing and having snacks, Ben and I took turns doing some runs. The mountain is nice and great with kids.
We came back that night after dinner to see the fire and laser show and the fireworks. We stayed for a while, but the kids then got cold and we went home to bed.
On Sunday unfortunately it was really cold again and we skied some, but not as much as I had hoped. After our morning runs, we packed up and drove back home. With the kids taking naps in the car.
I thought it was a successful first ski weekend here in NY with the kids and I look forward to many more with them.
