So this year we've taken the boys skiing quite a bit. We used both the weeks of Winter Break and Spring Break as a time to go to Utah and take advantage of great skiing and spending time with my family. They also spent some time on the slopes here at Snoqualmie Pass. Ski school has been successful as they have advanced to level 6 which is exciting for them. I have to say it is very exhausting at times just trying to keep up with them so they know they are just to meet us at the same lift they last went up if we end up losing them down the mountain.
Connor is the king of skiing right up alongside you at great speeds and being able to stop just as you are imagining in your mind the ugliest blowout. He is also the King of Speed. On a couple occassions as he reached the bottom of the lift parentless, the lift operator would comment to him after the long wait "perhaps your parents are the ones that need classes..." He is the one on the left practicing catching speed down the backside of the jump.
If you click on the other photo you can see Ty going off a jump. You may be able to make out his red ski boots. I believe his intention originally was to get a tiny bit of air and have a successful landing, something he had done in the past but in his desire for speed, he went up a bit more than planned.
