ski day #2

Presidents Day... the mountain was busy, and so were we!


The boys and I went up to ski TOGETHER! I was so glad I would be able to ski with my boys and have them show me their favorite places and runs.
We started with a warm up run down Lower Sam's Alley, to the terrain park off Midway, then down Primetime. (Ben and Sam hit every little bump, jump, and trail through the trees available on our way!)
Next, we headed up the Great Escape and decided to head out to the T-bar. It was fun to ride the T-bar behind the boys and watch them talking and looking back and waving at me. The t-bar took us out to the very perimeter of the backside and Little Blue Ridge Run. The conditions were great, we had a bit of sunshine, and it was a terrific run to just follow behind the boys. That took us to Stella, and we went up and over to the opposite side of the backside and skied Springboard. Again, loved it! Good conditions and so fun to watch the kids.
Stella back to the top and then back to the front side to meet up with the Hausers, who were up for the day. Sam hung out with Tommy and his dad, while Ben and I skied with Richie a few runs on the front. 
We took a break for lunch and then went over to the backside. The weather had deteiorated and the ride across the ridge wasn't too fun, but we made it. We took Vagabon down to Stella and then had time to do 2 runs down Cathedral Aisle before heading back to the front and calling it a day.

Here are our stats for the day:
Ben 20 miles
Jenni 17 miles
Sam 10 miles

What a day!
