We typically like staying home for ski season so his October celebration is the perfect opportunity for us to escape to warmer weather before we’re surrounded by snow. This year for his 9th birthday,

After three years of living in the middle of the Rocky Mountains, I have learned that no matter what the season is, there is always something to do.

For the past two years, we have visited Lake Tahoe for a spring ski trip in April. As much as we love Tahoe and Heavenly Resort, both years were not as memorable as our other ski trips. Looking back, there are several things we would do differently to make our experience more epic. Hopefully, we’ll
