This year we were members of the Berghaus for the firt time. Founded by crafty Germans in the early 70's, it started out as part of a charter package for visitors to go skiing at Snoqualmie pass. there used to be a lift that went straight up to the house, but a landslide took that out in 2007.
It's situated just off the slopes, with a complete Austrian "einkehr stube" and "apres ski" feel. It's awesome.
Some pics below.
You can see Mount Rainier in the background, off the top of Alptental.
Leila playing in the snow.
Me, and of course Milo and his friends at the top of Alpental. There is this awesome sign to get to the top of this mountain that reads "there is no easy way down. Experts only". The kids were very excited!
And now some more pics.
Christmas at the Berghaus with the wonderful, large tree.
It snows like crazy. On this particular weekend, we had massive snow.
These last two pictures took jumping the rope to get back to the house right after night skiing. the kids were very excited. We had to hike up a bit to make the crossover to east, then ride through the forest in the dark, all not officially sanctioned moves.
