Whister II: Going Up

Brian, Sandi, and my family adventured to the tippy-top, taking 3 gondolas up and over, a short hike, and then a ski lift to cross the two mountains and get a fantastic view.

Piper did the 3 gondolas and stopped before the hike, sulkily sitting until we returned. That is the most obvious reason she’s not in the pictures.

Sandi was excited but really nervous to be on so many gondolas– until we were on the way. She even made it across the cantilevered look-out and did the glass-bottomed car on the way back– all as an excellent role model for her second oldest niece, who didn’t even notice the bravery or good attitude. Sigh. The best parenting really does get wasted, huh?

We also spotted our first bear as we went down the last slope back to the village! To be fair, Brian and Sandi saw one the day we arrived, but this was still exciting. I would do this trip the same we next time we visit; not like the masochists we saw hiking their way up to the first station.
