Raisa, Tiana, and Cassie Litchfield of Melbourne, Australia joined their mother and grandfather on a visit to Old Forge on Wednesday, December 19 to go skiing at McCauley Mountain.
The three girls, who are currently on summer vacation, said they were spending the holidays in Watertown with their grandparents before heading south to Washington, D.C.
It was their grandfather’s idea to take a day trip to McCauley, one of the only area ski mountains with snow.
After renting equipment from the McCauley Mountain Ski Shop the girls headed out to Mighty Mite.
It was their hope that after a few warm-up runs they would have the courage to meet their grandfather on Challenger.
Wednesday’s visit marked the girls’ second time skiing.
Their first was three years ago in New Hampshire.
They said they were looking forward to getting out on the slopes.
