As a curious young lady, Violet (4) asked me the other day, “Dad, do you believe in fairies?”
“Of course I do Violet. I believe in a lot of things. Why do you ask?”
“I want to meet a fairy” She replied.
“Okay, we should go look for some tomorrow,” I suggested. “I think that we could find some Snow Fairies up near Mountain Baker. Should we go out in the woods and see if we can find some fairies OUT THERE?”
Needless to say, she answered with a resounding “YES”
To make sure that we covered some good ground and got deep enough into the forest that we’d be alone with the fairies we chose to launch into a new form of travel- Ski Sledding! I’ve been working this up in my head all season and the time had come! After breakfast, we went to Haggen’s and picked up a sled for $16, took it home and a couple of holes later, we were good to go.
Violet and I geared up and headed out.

We headed out in to the sunny day. Took the first left and went out to check out the river.
Here’s our Downhill Run. The sled wanted to take the lead. Here’s how it went:
We were finally back on the flat, bundled up, and close to the car. A bit shakey, but fun (x2):
