Deep stuff

Back from Colorado and no broken bones to report! We had a great, but short trip to the high country, and couldn't have asked for better snow. January ski trip 3.0 probably produced the best snow yet. It snowed each night, with the most coming on Friday night (the night before Vail). For Brad, Bryan and myself, it produced an 'epic' (and I don't use that term lightly) day on the slopes. This picture tries to show just how deep the snow way. It was a good knee deep almost everywhere. I wish I would have taken a pic of the signs saying, "It's a powder day. All groomed runs will have at least 10 inches of fresh snow on top, but they were groomed within the past 12 hours. Enjoy!"

I have never skied in anything deeper than my ankles so it was a great experience. You know it is great when I'm not the only one falling down! (check out the snow of Bryan's helmet). Let's just say I've never seen him fall before this trip :)

It was great to have Brad and Katie Powell join us. We all had a great time skiing and hanging out. It is such a blessing to have the condo and be able to bring family and friends together for vacations. My parents also were gracious enough to come and baby sit the boys. I know Caleb loved every minute playing with Grandpa Marvin and Grandma Linda.

All in all it was another wonderful time in Summit County. We, as always, were sad to return. Make sure to check out the photo album on the left. I will also try to upload a video of my 'jumping on skis' sometime this week. Check back for that later...
