At Least the Skiing is Getting Better.

This past week has been a good one for skiing, not so good for biking. It did warm up a bit on Thursday so I tried to get out on the bike for some outside riding but just a few miles into my ride I got a rear flat tire and being completely unprepared had to abandon.

I snapped a few pics as I waited for my ride to bail me out.  As you can see, I wasn't too happy about having to abandon.

I have to admit, I live in a very pretty state.

Me about to drop in near the Bookends.

Like I said, at least the skiing is getting better.  Jen and I got up there on Friday morning and hit Mineral Basin which skied very nice as long as you hit the right aspects of the mountain.  The east facing slopes were the best.  The Bookends were my favorite.

Saturday was a full on powder day.  We had Christmas parties both in the morning and in the evening but we were able to squeeze in an afternoon on the slopes.  We had our kids and they skied so well.  They are becoming little rippers.  Hendrix led us through some tight trees that were hard for Jen and I to get through but it was no problem for him and Lily.  I can tell it won't be long before they out ski us.

Packing up after the ski day is over.  So beautiful and as you can see, we were one of the last ones to leave.

This week is the last before Christmas and we are all excited for the holiday.  My kids are at the perfect age for it.  They make it so much fun.  Plus, it's suppose to snow most of the week so we'll enjoy that too!
