This year we took our first ever family ski holiday. We spent a week in Ovronnaz combining ski holiday with New Years party and birthday party for Austin. Aliya was in the ski school for the whole week and after a couple days she was cruising down red slopes on her own :-) The photos can be found on our smugmug page.
