Family Tradition, who doesn't like to ski?

Here we all are on Copper Mountain! It was Scout Day (our favorite time to go!! Cheap tickets!) We decided to go with T's brother and fam. I had such a wonderful time! And I think the kids did too! I didn't think we would ever make it! The roads were so awful because of the storm, and our truck is awful because of the tires! So it took us 3 hours to get up there with traffic and roads! Once there we all seemed to have fun, although skiing in a snow storm is quite the adventure! The kids and I never had skied in powder snow before and we were grateful for goggles!

H. just loves the snow!She stayed mostly on the bunny hill today. I think it was because her cousin N. was helping her out! He was such a good teacher and had so much patience with her! Thanks to N. and Uncle A. for making her day a little more fun!!:)

Here is K., our snow bunny!! She had quite the story of almost getting stuck in a creek! She started to ski off the trail and hit some major powder (all the way up to her waist!)She was feet from a creek! How miserable would that have been if she landed right in it! Some stranger had mercy for her (dad was with M., trying to help her and couldn't get to K.) and helped her out while landing right into the creek! Thanks nice stranger and sorry for making your day a little more wetter and colder!!

M. being such a goofball! This ski trip wasn't so fun for her! She got stuck in all the powder and it took her 2 hours to get down the green! Thanks to her dad for helping her all the way back down! I hope she doesn't write off skiing forever! She was a good sport all in all!



PK. and R. get down and snowy with their snowboards!! This was R.'s first time snowboarding. He had the time of his life!!! He fell quite a bit, but was able to do blues by the end of the day!! Way to go R.!


K. and T. just waiting for some slops!!
