Buck Hill Season Passes - Warm Weather Assurance!

With the kiddo hanging up his hockey skates this season...

We knew we wanted to find something to keep both kids busy, now that we aren't committing to the ice rink...

They both enjoyed their snowboarding lessons so much last winter...

We decided to go for the season passes...

::GULP::

They are NOT CHEAP...

Hard to swallow that big of an expense all at once...

but, when you live in Minnesota, you have to embrace the winters, cold weather, snow, and all...

So here's to a great ski and snowboard season ahead...

Maybe the first of many?

But if I'm being honest, if it means NO SNOW and these amazing temps hitting 60 degrees with Thanksgiving NEXT WEEK...I'd buy these passes every year! 

HA!

Buck Boarders - Buck Hill Experience!

It's winter in Minnesota..............

Love it or leave it...

Or...just embrace it?

While we are no strangers to the backyard extreme winter sports - 

We've not had a chance yet, to actually do the real winter snow hills.

Until now!

We headed over to the local ski hill...

Seeing Redtail Ridge on the list of runs!

It's bound to be a great day, no?

So, the kids partook in some official snowboarding lessons!

They aren't cheap, by any stretch of the imagination,

 but we thought it was important that they have a real, official lesson,

 if this is something they want to pursue, on winter days ahead.

Having done it this way, I sort of wish we'd of done a ski lesson first - but, hey.

You live and you learn, right?

And learn, they did!

They rocked it...they did great!

But it is harder than it looks!

They had a great day, and a great lesson though!

And then it was nightfall, but who wants to be the buzzkill that says it's time to go home?

Besides that, they were really getting their money out of their all day lift ticket!

Hurray for that!

It was a great day, a great experience.

They both want to give it another go...

Now to decide how much to invest in this extra curricular...

Board, boots, bindings...helmet, goggles, lift tickets....

SANTAAAAAA?

Winter isn't cheap around here!

But it can be fun, if you give it a chance!

& at the end of the day, happy, albeit, exhausted children........

It's worth it.

All of it.
