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?IMG_1826 IMG_1829

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.

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

First day of skiing…we thought we’ve seen some great trails today only to find out that we’ve only been to the bottom third of the mountain.

We got to check out Downtown Steamboat late afternoon.

We flew to Colorado early this morning to spend a week skiing/snowboarding on the Steamboat mountain. We’ve been so blessed to be invited to this beautiful place located on the edge of the ski slope with ski in/ski out access to the slopes.
