The woman who volunteered to take the photo above yelled, “Say daddy wears diapers!!!” right before she snapped the shot. It totally worked and I’m guessing she’s done that before. She even got Mike to laugh!
That’s us in Park City, Utah in March; a ski trip Mike and I have been going on since before we had kids. The snow has been hit or miss the past couple of years and this year was particularly barren when we got there. It was so warm that I didn’t even have an appropriate jacket and had to borrow Mike’s vest the first day. Thankfully, it got colder mid-week and we got some fresh snow, which made for some really excellent skiing.
This was the first time we brought Harlow to Park City (in previous years, she stayed home with Grammy) and I wasn’t sure if she would take to ski school. She’s only skied one other time at Mont Tremblant earlier this year and that was one private lesson in the morning; not a whole day with a big group.
Well, I shouldn’t have worried because she didn’t make a fuss about going to ski school at all. And when it came to the slopes, SHE KILLED IT. Not only could she make a pizza stop and some turns by the end of the trip, she is already working on her jumps!
You can see Harlow ski plus all the other fun stuff we did in Park City in my latest travel video. Woohoo! New YouTube videos every Friday just like I promised last week. Allie worked her ASS off editing this one so please leave a comment below and tell us what you think!

Love the video, very well done and can’t wait to go experience Utah!
OMG 3 YO Mazzy is adorable! And double black diamonds ARE a girl’s best friend. You go girl! We went to Park City 2 or 3 years ago and yup, it was totally barren. Hope they get more snow next season! Great job raising little ripper skiers! My 3YO isn’t quite going for it yet, but we’re hopeful for next season. And great job editing Allie!
Great video! Harlow was really cool, both in skiing and her #moveslikeHarlow! And Mazzy was amazing too. I did see that vid when Mazzy was younger. Keep posting more videos Ilana, looking forward to it every Friday! 😉
Fyi, my snowboarding little ones have been cut off by skiers more times than I can count. Loved your video up until then. Don’t see why you need to bring in the negativity in an otherwise positive post that could be promoting the fun, family element of winter sports.
It was really just a joke. The end of my sentence (not shown) when I talk about Deer Valley was actually “I have no problem with snowboarders” but then I happened to catch Mazzy being cut off by a snowboarder so I thought it was a funny edit. I’ve snowboarded myself a few times and I don’t have any issues if my kids want to try to it at some point.
I thought it was timely and funny. Plus, it was about 3 seconds of the video. Not like you harped on it for 2 minutes.
Can’t please everyone.
It’s so cool to see that New Yorkers love Park City as much as us, in California! Great choice! 🙂
Great video. I live in Salt Lake City. Love it that you are giving Utah some love.
Your comment about the weather is fantastic. If you don’t like the weather in Utah, wait 10 minutes.
Love Canyons! We go to Vail twice a year and we have began buying the Epic Local passes to beat the price of lift tickets totally recommend looking into the Epic Passes.
I remember watching this and loving it. As a Florida kid I always dreamed of ski vacations and now I live in MA and still haven’t skied. Well turns out my family will be heading to Park City in a couple weeks. I assume there isn’t skiing to do yet but I’m curious what is out there to do with the kids for a couple days. They are 4 and almost 2. 😳
