Skiing Steamboat Springs Spring Break 2010

For Spring Break 2010, we did some family skiing at Steamboat Springs, Colorado. While the snow wasn't the best (it's been a tough year), we had a great time on the slopes and staying with our friends, Jon, Wendy, Alden, and Neve Wade. In addition to the pictures below, there is some video of Kyle doing the rails and jumps at the bottom of the slope - almost as entertaining as watching my brother Kurt's "Wendy-the-pooh" entry in the Mission Ridge Dummy Downhill which was the same weekend and/or the previous week when we went Snow Sledding at Tantra Park in Boulder, Colorado.

Wendy and Dirk watch as Kyle heads down the race course

Wendy was pretty fast, even while carrying our lunches

Her ski edges haven't been sharpened in years, so no surprise some slippage
