Day 4--Hot Chocolate, a Beaver, and Pies

Since we missed a day yesterday skiing, we decided to make a full day out of it today. We were on the slopes around 10am, and enjoyed no lines at the lifts. As we were gearing up to head onto the slopes, we encountered the mascot of the Beaver Run Superchair....Bucky the Beaver! We had to get a photo with him.

We stopped for a little lunch (TG wanted hot chocolate to warm up her hands), and continued skiing until around 2:30......side note.....we would have skied longer, but TG got us lost and somehow we ended up skiing into a neighborhood and then walked into town. We gave up at that point and headed home.


We ate dinner at the Mountain Flying Fish, which serves sushi. We got some seaweed salad, miso soup, and edamame to start. Then we got 3 different types of sushi for dinner. Very good.

Because dessert is never out of the question, and we just liked the name (we thought of you Mimi), we went to get some apple/apricot and blackberry/cherry pies from Mimi's Fried Pies. Very cute place. They hand-make them right in front of you.

We finished off the night with a little OSU basketball on TV. Tomorrow we head to Silverthorne for some sightseeing and to find the best refrigerator magnet ever!
