Spring Skiing


So our 2012-2013 ski season is done, but we are truly in awe of the leaps and bounds our kids have made this year.  They did a local ski program and did afternoon lessons for 10 Thursdays in a row and today they had a few more runs on their "bucket list" that they wanted to attempt (these are the same kids who are obsessed with trail maps and double black diamonds).  So after Dan did a test run, we decided with the spring slush that we'd take them both down Waterfall, a double black diamond run that Ben has been wanting to do all season.  Not only did both children do the run with relative ease, they decided to continue ticking off more runs and proceeded to ski all over the mountain for the rest of the afternoon.  The list included: Peril's Ridge (for Ben), Three Sisters, Palasades and Lower Our Father.  If they can do all this at age 5 and 7, I'm a little worried...    Enjoy the short clip of them skiing, including a few photos, we had the pleasure of skiing with Megan and Miles for a few runs.
