Cypress Mountain


We are on our way for another day of snowboarding! This time, we are headed to Cypress Mountain, only 40 minutes from downtown.


The kids got their gear and had a group lesson together. They were pretty far out so we didn’t get any photos or videos of the action.


After a morning in the snow, we went to Ellie and Amelia’s grandmother’s house to play and rest. Thanks to Uncle Eric for watching all the kids tonight!!!

Mount Seymour


Today was our first day of snowboarding lesson for the trip.


Once the kids got their rental gear, they were each assigned a teacher for the morning.

Peanut just took off down the hill.

Janie learned how to go down using the “falling leaf”.


The parents passed out on the car ride back to Surrey this time.


We also checked into our hotel in downtown Vancouver this evening.

Soda Springs – Day 1


We went to Soda Springs and the kids spent the day at Planet Kids for some snowboarding. It was their first day on a board and they had such a good time.

Peanut LOVED riding the shuttle to Planet Kids from the parking lot. It was a snow jeep that pulled another cart for passengers.

Here’s Janie’s first ride down the hill on a snowboard. The kids spent the morning just riding down the hill on their own.


Peanut looked like a natural on the board.

We ended up getting a lesson for Janie and she worked on stopping. We paid for a group lesson but she ended up getting a private lesson because no one else signed up.

Planet Kids has lots of other stuff to do include tubing and an inner tube carousel!

On the way back to the hotel, we stopped for ice cream to celebrate Janie’s first day on a snowboard.
