Growing up, my dad would take us skiing every Saturday in winter and it’s one of my all-time favorite past times! I’ve been dreaming of the day I could teach my own kids how to ski and finally taking our daughter the other week was a dream come true.

We stayed up at the brand new Snowpine Lodge at Alta Ski Resort and it was seriously UNBELIEVABLE! I loved the food, location, and interior so much. I’m already aching to go up and stay there again!

This picture is worth a thousand words… Despite her face, I think she actually loved it. I know many find skiing with a baby dangerous so rest assured, we went on a baby ski hill twice and were done. Probably 15 minutes total! And I didn’t want her in the cold for too long anyway so it was perfect to give her a quick little taste of skiing.

One of my favorite past times with Will was skiing too! We went all the time in High School and love that it is something we enjoy to do together.

I can’t wait to see her on her own baby skis one day! I’ll melt in a puddle.

We went up there to feature their restaurant Swen’s which is a new favorite of mine. If you are local to Utah, please go and try their brussels sprouts! Thank you.

Now let’s get on to the interior of this place. I loved all the earthy tones they used and the ART! The art was my favorite! I wish I knew each artists name so I could give them credit.

When I posted this picture on Instagram and said that Will haaaaates when I call him buddy I had so many people agreeing with me! I guess he’s not the only one… haha. It must be a guy thing to hate it!

I do know a lot of the art was by Jane Durham and now it’s my new life goal to own one of her pieces.
