Trip Report: Afternoon of daddy & daughter skiing for me. Conditions were great, spring snow, sprng bumps, spring temps.

hit the bumps under the chair a bunch of times, they seemed to be drawing a crow. lots of peeps trying out the hero snow in the bumps. the snow was great all over the hill, i especially enjoyed Gunny's soft snow.

i haven't been a big fan of the lower stinger bumps this year but i happened to be in the loft on a snack break and realized how nice a view spectators had

Yesterday was a great day at the institution!

We got there a bit before 9am for my kid's lessons. I got a solo hour in (the bumps weren't so great then). After that we skied together for a while before meeting up with Greg and his girls around 1pm. The kids were having such fun together that they skied right up until 5, with a few breaks mixed in. We let the kids ski semi-independently for the first time, which they loved. We liked it too, since it afforded us the chance to get more bump skiing in. ;)

I'm very proud of the progress my kids have made this season, and I'm still amazed that they skied for 8 hours!
