Utah!!!!!

We had a great week skiing
in Utah this year. We definitely
improved a lot and quite a few
firsts happened!!!! Everyone
braved the terrain park at Sundance.
I even did the table top. I decided
that once was enough. Emily and
Michael kept going back for more.

I found two black diamond runs
that had been groomed and we
tackled them. The kids skied them
like they were little beginner runs
and they had no trepidation about
skiing them. I was so proud. The run at
Sundance was definitely the hardest
thing that the kids and I had ever
skied. It was awesome!!!!

We also had our first fall that
resulted in Ski Patrol being
called. Michael got cocky and
went into some fresh powder
with to much speed and he ended
up somersaulting in the snow. He
came up screaming. Emily went in
after him, promptly fell and came
up crying. I skied down to them
and took my skis off and went into
them. I knew if I skied in, I'd been
down with them. We didn't know if
it was serious, so Ski Patrol was called.
Everyone was fine when it was all said
and done. Michael hurt his back just
a bit, but bounced back and skied the
rest of the day with a little more caution.
I was fine with that!!!!!

Michael had a great week. He is
such a natural skier. I wish he
wasn't so fearless though!

Emily is a great little
skier. She improved a lot
this week and we had lots
of fun!!! She really tries
to take our suggestions and
improve her technique.

Showing us their

racing postitions!

This was taken at Snowbasin
on one of the few pretty days
we had. Lots of snow and for
those who love powder...it was
great. For those of us who don't
it proved to be challenging.
