We Ski

This year we bought ski passes to Copper Mountain resort, our family favorite Colorado resort.  It's our favorite because it is very "family friendly".  We can park very close to the resort, we can stay over night in a variety of near by towns if we want, it's a great mountain that is big enough to give Steve and Chandler the complexity and difficult terrain they need, and yet small enough for us all to find each other and meet for lunch if we get separated!  Here are a few photos of our ski time this year:





Girls coming down a favorite hill at the terrain park.

Chandler jumping onto the gushy mat after a jump that could have ended badly.

Chandler loves his jumps!  I on the other hand do not!

Bella's favorite (and mine) time of the day...hot chocolate time!

Kids finding shelter (and fun) awaiting our ride for the day...Steve where are you?

Taking a quick break!

Gabby using the chairs after lunch to their fullest!

McKinnon and Gabby taking a break from singing on the lift.  They love their singing!

We had a great season of skiing and look forward to it again next year. The family time we get from the 1.5 hour drive - each way, the many ski lifts rides, the lunch time yummy food, the hot chocolate and treat breaks, the fun tree trails, the follow-the-leader games through the terrain park, and much more makes the not-so-easy and not-so-cheap sport worth it.
