Crystal Mountain Trip

I have to admit that we were a little reluctant as we rode the Gondola up to the top of Crystal Mountain.  There is so little snow that only one chair – Green Mountain – was open.  And there is only one way down from the top of Green Mountain – a black diamond run.  So, in full Jensen style, we lug our 5 and 7 year old up there and pray for the best!  And I am so glad we did because the result could not have been more positive.  Both Skyler and Liam tore up the hill as Leif and I beamed with pride.  Skyler only hesitated for one run and then got her ski legs and went for it.  Liam, of course, could not be burdened with waiting, and continually took off and met us at the bottom (sound like a Jensen?)  We cycled the run all day and stopped only for a top of the mountain lunch.  We stayed at Alta Crystal like we have done the last couple years and Grandma stayed home with Presley so we could enjoy some two on two time with the older ones.  It was a wonderful trip despite there being such little snow and I hope we can continue to make this an annual thing.
