Our good friend Kathryn came for a visit from Ontario and decided she needed to get on some skis. What she lacks in experience, she makes up for in enthusiasm, so we agreed to take her on a backcountry ski trip. Here she is showing off some of that enthusiasm on the pre-trip xc training expedition.
We chose a suitable location for a beginner and a 6-month old, loaded Cassia up, and headed off.
Simmers carried the baguettes (to go with the cheese fondue, but of course).
The family at Caribou Cabin.

Our hut entertainment consisted of this: hand someone a soother, get them to put it in upside down and see if they can flip it right-side-up using only their mouth. Surprisingly difficult. And humourous.
And then we skied some sick lines.
Here's the "hand-cam" shot of Dad skiing down with little C. I think Dad's slightly more excited than Cassia.

Love the soother pictures. Especially the one of Simmers sterilizing his.
Yay! Double gnar points for getting baby faceshots!
Cassia is playing it cool, but really you can tell that deep down she loves shredding the gnar!!! Way to start 'em young green light Floyer. xoxo Anne
Hiya-love the video of cassia backcountry skiing and getting in some fat turns. I never quite got round to doing this with Ewan-got another chance with Emma. Too quickly, they just want to do it themselves!
