We took a hot chocolate break with Mr. Ken.

Then we went down on two more blacks – Cyclon and Upper Valley trails.

We met with kids after ski school and spent the last afternoon in Steamboat skiing together.

What an incredible week it has been! Kids have improved so much. Chloe’s skiing comfortably on blues and Shane’s tried a half pipe and likes to find little jumps while skiing various trails.

Andrew and I stopped by the Four Points lodge this morning, located atop the Four Points chairlift on Storm Peak, which is nestled at 9,716 feet above sea level. We had the best Bloody Mary ever. A meal in a drink.

Then we headed to the top of Storm Peak…where I went down my first black!

It was white out. We couldn’t see past a few feet ahead but the fresh snow made for the best ski condition.

I made it alive.

Forecast: Snowing… A lot.

Andrew and kids coming home.

Chloe’s done. Done.

A delicious meal was waiting for us at the lodge. Oh you are so good to us!

They are serious hockey fans. Look how enthusiastically they are watching the game.

Today we are done with lessons and we are exploring new trails. 3 out of 4 of these trails are done!

Skiing with the residents. 🙂

Happy birthday Ken! Glad we could be part of your special day.

Third day of lessons

On my second day of skiing lessons

They took me here. All I see are blue trails… no greens… and is that a blue/black trail?

I took a deep breath and went down on this steep hill saying “yee pee~”

I couldn’t even see where I’m heading down on this slope.

I made it! I did 7 blue runs today including a blue/black trail.

A beautiful gondola ride down. 

After I finished my lesson, we picked up the kids from ski school. They wanted to do more runs with us.

Heading back to the condo… this is our commute home.

Good morning Steamboat!

Kids are starting a 5 day ski school and we are also starting the first day of our ski/snowboarding lesson today. Can’t wait to see more of the mountain!

This condo complex has a Monday cocktail hours by the pool. Judy ordered kids their first Shirley Temple.

Chloe’s not sure what to think of it at first but she definitely enjoyed being with adults.

Judy’s been cooking delicious meals every night for everyone so I thought I would help out and make beef stew for dinner tonight.

Followed by her delicious cookies.

Chloe’s catching up on her homework.
