First WINTER family trip


It was Jakub's first winter trip, in the snow, in the mountains. Originally, Tom was going to take him up to the Brockton point, the top of the Seymour ski runs, and at the same time Elena with Nika and Oskar were going to hike the first, maybe 2nd peak of Mt. Seymour. It turns out, we are hardly keeping up to the two guys, the dad and the son, as they are nearly running up the hill. I should have known... So first peak of Seymour it is, 10 months old, on the way up 1/2 hour of sleep, on the way down puzzled looks from other hikers looking at this crazy dad who runs and slides down the steep snow slopes with this little baby on his back, all cuddled up in the too big of a snow suit. And the woman taking leaps into the powder snow on her stomach, that's probably the mother...

We also took a sled, but at the end, again the adults were the ones who were having the biggest fun on it. Jakub was not interested.

So now seriously ... conditions are great, nearly skiable...
