We played Zingo (bingo with zing) and Yahtzee in the off hours (it seems that Yahtzee has supplanted Mille Bournes as Lee's favorite game, for the nonce).
We took my nieces skiing for about an hour each day, to give them a taste of it and let them build up some skills and confidence. It took a while to get them ready....
Occasional setbacks on the slope called for a bit of hands-on reassurance such as a "daddy ride":
But the girls were both so brave! And they both made it on to chairs far too tall for them, with a little help from their grownups:
Clara wasn't quite ready for solo skiing (she can't do the snow plow yet), but tandem skiing suited her just fine:
Although we all hovered protectively, there were still some thrilling moments when Lee was skiing in and among other skiers and riders (she successfully avoided them, including those who had fallen and were stuck in her path):

Lee showed excellent control of speed and direction, and good instincts to skirt the trouble spots.
We had spectacular weather and great conditions. A peak's view of peaks:
