What a perfect weekend on the mountain! 2-28-2009

For the record, the boarders on this trip were:
Keri-Lyn
Randy
Kate (Grama Katie went for moral suppport)
Nicole
Austin
Jordan
Gabe

It was a full load! Whohoo! Holy Bejeezus it was cold when we got there this morning, but that was great news! It meant the powder stayed powder and was incredible.
This trip we brought 2 first timers, Nicole and Gabe. By the time they got all of their gear and such it was already after 10am (that is when the first lesson starts) so they decided to brave Bruno and see what they could learn on their own until the next lesson at 1pm. Gabe had a rough start, but seemed to get into it after the lesson. He even took it upon himself to head out to Bruno after the lesson by himself and "do some shredding!" :) Nicole did very well her first go! Great Job Girl!
The rest of us decided to head down to Jeff Flood and ride up to the Mile. I can't even explain how beautiful it was up there, two days in a row now! Gorgeous! There was so much open terrain and powder to play in. Austin and Keri-Lyn took a ride down the outer perimeter from the mile and hit some jumps for fun! We aren't crazy, just learning them but its so much fun!
Poppy was carving all over the mile and seems to be getting more and more comfortable on the board! We are waiting to see him hit the jumps too!
Jordan is faster than all of us so she hits all the runs 2xs before we get to the bottom. She likes the outer perimeter as well and loves to try the jumps! That or she just likes to dig out, who knows!
Grama Katie held down the fort so we had a break table. She brought all the fixins to make lunch up there from the spicy crab dip and clam dip to Roast beef and swiss for sandwiches! yummy! Thanks Grama!
All in all it was a great weekend. Playing hookie on Friday was spectacular and the weather a powder on Saturday was a great follow up. There is more snow in the forecast this week, YES! We will do this all over again next weekend. See you on the mountain!
Til Then!
