Breckinridge Skiing - February 26

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.

Now this is ski weather!

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.

Back at the condo, SJ and Drake got ready to go out with friends they met in Italy.  Leftover night for the rest of us as Shrimp Bowls planned for Friday night.  David and Christa came over after their hot tub visit.

4:00 a.m. came quick, and Grandpa was first up with a hot shower as the sinuses seemed clogged.  Then Drake and SJ with Palmer.  Then Grandma and Parker sound asleep despite the noise.  Uncle Logan was up and we helped finish packing at getting everyone out to the shuttle by 4:50 - 5:00 a.m. Grandma getting some snooze time in on way to DIA By 6:30 the truck was packed, condo departure checklist complete and ready to head out.  Logan reminded Dad we need to look for Drake's skis.  We parked out front and walked the entire area.  To Logan's credit he spied the skis inside a door to the Education Department office next door to the Ski School.  Unfortunately not open and nobody answered the number on the door. Grandpa parked the truck and after a bathroom break walked with Logan to the neighboring building Gravity Haus (Drake and SJ had dinner there Thursday night) so Logan could get coffee.  At 7:45 a.m. headed to the Ski School to see if we could g...
