Skiing Day 2

After Saturday night's blizzard, we woke up to a beautiful clear day. It was still pretty cold, but at least it wasn't extremely windy. This is a view from our balcony overlooking the mountain and the plaza.
After a quick run on a green slope to get warmed up, we tackled a blue...it was the very one where 3 years ago on my 2nd day ever of skiing, I took my skis off, threw them down a steep slope and walked down. Well, I'm proud to say that this year I made it down that slope without falling! This is me getting ready to head down the dreaded slope. Do I look nervous? After we made it down Snowdancer and then Kokopelli again, we took a break and mapped out a long run, where we were going to hit four different blue trails and 3 lifts. I was exhausted by the end of it, but I can now say I've done 4 blue slopes in a row.
This picture to the left is at the top of a steep slope on the Harmony trail. It was the 3rd of the four that we did in a row and had a great view. But it was also the longest trail we did. If you look at the bottom of the slope, you can see a house. This trail actually went through a "neighborhood."

Those are really cool pictures. I have never been in that much snow. I am proud of you for taking skiing head on! You're such a go-getter :) I may get brave and try it one day!
