Snowmass

Skiing day 3! The temps were a little higher and the sun was out and we were all happy skiers! Bluebird day on the mountain!

Twinkies!!

Lunch break!

After lunch we decided to take the single pole/disc lift up to Cirque, the highest point in Snowmass at 12, 510 feet. None of us had ever been on a lift like this before but we were feeling optimistic!

The boys all got on and made it to the top with no issue. Here’s Maxwell riding up.

It was a different story for the girls! Samantha was really nervous but she got on and started going up. I then fell trying to get on but then made it on just two people behind her. About 3/4 of the way up, the wind was so strong and her gloved hands just couldn’t hold on and she fell off the lift! Oh no! I tried to grab her and pull her with me but that didn’t work so I hopped off too and we had to ski back down to the lift. We then had a decision to make – give up and ski on down the mountain and meet the boys later – or try again to get to the top! We tried again and I am so glad we did!! Once we finally made it, the views were worth it! We were eye level with the tops of all of the mountains. It felt like a snow desert up there! So cool.

Ready to live on The Edge!

We went down a couple of black runs, tons of blues, and had a great day all around!
