For Valentines we spent the night at my parents house in Chewelah. (The boys had a 4 day weekend for snow-makeup days that they never had to use). My parents are still in Arizona, but my brother, John stays at their house 1/2 the week while he works as a Pharmacist in Colville. We had dinner at the Sporty's in Chewelah and then got to visit with John for a few hours. The 4 of us slept in the living room in sleeping bags/blankets. The next day we spent the day skiing at 49 degrees North. Great day of skiing. Top was foggy and a little icy. Connor and Jason went down a few runs from the top before it got so foggy that they closed down the lifts. Then they spent the rest of the day on the lower half with Kaiden and I. Kaiden found a bunch of trails through the woods with jumps that he loved. Connor is all about speed. He points his skis straight down the mountain with his poles tucked behind him and just flies down the hill. Kaiden is all about the jumps, getting air, doing tricks. Although Kaiden is fast too. Jason likes to explore the mountain and tried to find runs that we would all enjoy doing together. I really like the cat tracks and side trails. I had a ton of fun skiing with Kaiden on the trails through the woods. Although 49 degrees North also has some of the older 2 person chair lifts, the side edge rail is tall and there are big side poles on the outside on both sides. The seats are also spaced out and not close together like at Mt. Spokane. They will slow down the lift for you, but with the spacing you really don't need them to. Plus the lift moves slower than at Mt. Spokane too and the person working the lift grabs the seat before you sit to help you get on too. We didn't have any issues with these lifts! Plus they have some of the nicer quad lifts for other runs too. The lodge is big, food is good, runs are great and lifts are easy to use. We didn't discover their terrain park until just before we left, but next time I'm sure Kaiden will be spending more time in this area. Overall, very fun day! We stopped in Deer Park on the way home for dinner at Masters Brewhouse. I've heard a lot about their amazing burgers. I got a bacon jam burger and Jason got the bleu cheese burger. We spilt so we could try both. He ended up liking the bacon jam the best and I liked the bleu cheese the best. I also got a cider flight and Jason got a beer flight. The boys played some arcade games. Kaiden played with the pool table. And we enjoyed the live singer that they had for Valentines. He was really good! We ended the night with a movie- Kung Fu Panda 4. Best Valentines day ever! Last picture is Superbowl. We had Mikaela, Brian and Kevin come over to watch the game and have snacks.
