What a Bluebird day to spend the day on the mountain.  Ok, I'm ahead of myself as it was still dark at 6:15 when I woke to realize I had slept in.  I found Janie and Parker asleep on the pull out bed in the living room.  Janie made avocado toast with egg for breakfast and Grandpa cooked some pancakes for Parker and Palmer.  Parker geared up for lessons and Drake, Logan, David and Christa all headed out.  SJ and Grandpa caught up with a little later departure, but still a 9:00 a.m. start. We all headed in our packs to Peak 7, where David let us know Christa was at the base not feeling well.  After a couple of runs, Grandpa and SJ went down and secured a table.  SJ found Christa down by the bathrooms and let Grandpa know Christa was green.  After a little soda we tracked down Janie and got Christa setup for a pickup. David got down in time to see her off and the report later in the day was not much better.  Must have been the same 24 hour bug t...

Day 5 of skiing started at 5:00 a.m. with Palmer wanting everyone up.  Both her and Parker laid down with Mama in the living room.  Palmer struggled and stayed awake while Mama and Parker passed out.  Eventually everyone pulled it together with breakfast and getting ready for the mountain. Despite the forecast of 20% chance of light snow, it was windy and snowy all day long.  Thank goodness for low light goggles.  Even so this was the coldest day of skiing for everyone.  Even Parker braved the weather all day. Playing in the snow a requirement in ski school Now this is ski weather! Christa, SJ and Grandpa Gotta love the snow Palmer modeling her new shirt Then lap nap with Grandma Uncle David contributed this pic from the mountain. We met up with Parker at 3:00 p.m. to take another lift ride to the top of Quicksilver so Parker could ski down with everyone.  She showed improvement with balance and giggles on her stop by doing a 180 and falling down. Mama...

 5:30 a.m. wake up to the granddaughters ready to rock and roll.  Over night snow was about 2" and the groomers were busy trying to get the mountain ready.  Light snow all morning with heavy winds.  The mountain will be interesting today.  Palmer started with a banana and both girls enjoyed oatmeal for breakfast. The crew has definitely settled into a routine and the condo has been really perfect setup.  Only downside is the laundry in the hallway and costs $4 for laundry and $3 for dryer.  First world problem of course. Ski Hallway By 8:15 a.m. Parker was ready to head to school with Dada.  SJ and Logan follower around 8:30 to meet up with Uncle David and Christa, however, Christa was not feeling well and opted to stay back.  Grandma packed up Palmer and headed to the City Market to get some more food supplies.  Grandpa took his time getting ready with goal of hitting the lift at 9:00.  All bundled up and out the door down to head ...

This morning everyone slept a little longer to 5:30 ish.  SJ and Logan both are better, but Palmer struggled with altitude crud and coughing up phlegm.  Parker is going to take a day off from ski school.  Grandpa and Drake went to the gym and used the Sauna for stretching and shower to help get last night's stink off. Pancakes for Breakfast Not as many pictures today as everyone was busy doing their thing.  Breakfast and Logan headed out at 8:30 to meet Uncle David and Christa for early morning runs.  Drake and Grandpa joined later around 9:30 to a Quicksilver lift not working and lines growing.  After some start and stops the lift was up and running again, but being so many beginners loading not as smooth as you'd like.  First world problem. Catching up with the early crew the day was spent skiing with a few breaks for water and protein bars and for some a beer.  Due to the temperature the snow deteriorated throughout the day and the lack of snow...
