Skiing 2010

The kids spent a total of nine weeks at the slopes this year. They each tried snowboarding. Evelyn has now graduated to being able to go up the lifts with her equally sized friends. Though she still enjoys having some of the older girls take her up some more difficult trails. Here are some Pictures I have taken from the past two months.

Kit spent a lot of time hanging out in the lodge

Much fun was had between runs

We celebrated at least one birthday

We finished our nine weeks of skiing by taking a trip to Pat's Peak with some friends. The snow wasn't the best. As my friend Winnie put it, "It's like skiing on mashed potatoes.". That's fine by me since it means winter is wrapping up and spring is on its way! The kids found it a little difficult to get any speed though. For Evelyn, my little speedster, this was quite tragic. As the day went on the conditions got better for them as more people compacted the slushy stuff. The boys spent most of the time on the double black diamonds and the girls spent the majority of the time wishing that they could do the same. After all was said and done we had a great time. Though the kids have deemed Crotched Mountain to still be the best. Now I can say, much to Quinn's lament, that I am DONE with skiing for another year. Bring on the heat!
