Its been a great year to ski. Maybe not the best snow or snow cover all the time. but its been a great year of skiing with friends and my kids. Darren has been a few times in the early morning hours. Hiking with lights before the sun comes up and then skiing down. He got some great shots.
I dont mind the hiking but I do love a good steep groomer too! Ang (and Steve and daughter Olivia) took me to Solitude one day. I heart Solitude. But one run in particular has my name all over it. Its a black diamond that is super steep. They have a running competition to see who can get down it fastest. I was the leader for a little while but by the end of the day I was down to 3rd place by one second. 1 minute and 46 seconds. If I ever crashed it would hurt a lot! Fun day.
The kids and I have been going up quite a bit. Ella and Stella LaRiviere took one day to ourselves. I took them on their first ever run labeled a double black diamond. They were amazing. I was so proud. It is nice to have all that hard work finally pay off.
