Family Ski Party



 Conditions have been fantastic this year at the Sundance Nordic Center.  We were grateful for the perfect weather on Saturday and delighted to go for an afternoon ski with Uncle Jonny, Uncle Joe, Aunt Maggie and Grandpa Nielsen.  This was Jonny's first time on skinny skis.  He's a natural.  Maggie's skiing is really coming along.  Her uphill skiing is awesome, her attitude is awesome and this time we were able to see her improve her snowplow skills to the point of braving it down "Connor's Climb" with minimal assistance.  Joe is really loving the sport.  I don't think I saw him sweat a drop, despite the warm temps.  Even Grandpa managed to avoid breaking a hip.  Actually Grandpa is a real nature lover and a pleasure to ski with.  Millie loved playing in the snow with Maggie in Elk Meadow, while Uncle Jonny climbed Quakies.  If I don't do something to slow Mandy down, I'm at risk of losing the Fastest Skinny Skier in the Family Title.  Man, she's really gotten to be a skier.  What a ski party it was!
