MW Vacation Day 5: Groomers and the Terrain Park

After four powder days in a row, it was nice to show up Saturday for some groomers. The kids rocked the terrain park and it was fun to capture a few of their jumps!

MW Vacation Day 4: More Powder! Too much powder!

 




Fresh powder on 7th Heaven.

D'oh! Trent, where's your board?

Charlotte and her ice buddy - did a number of runs together today.

Not going to lie - pretty proud of my stats!


MW Vacation Day 3: Powder Day and Apres Ski with the Mitchells, Dubs and Rebecca

We got fresh tracks on Big Chief while we did laps waiting for the backside to open. Once it did, it was a powder-fest back there. Rachelle, Rebecca and I had a major workout on Pegasus in about two-feet of heavy powder.





We worked our butts off skiing all morning and enjoyed an awesome but chilly tailgate lunch before we got back out again.


The afternoon included Big Chief Bowl with all the kids. It was super fun and beautiful - feels so remote out there.

MW Vacation Day 2: Sunny Morning, Late Stevens Opening, Skiing with the Birgfelds

After all that snow, highway 2 was closed until 10:00 AM and Stevens Pass Ski Area didn't open until noon. So we enjoyed a beautiful, sunny morning at the cabin while the crews worked on the roads and avalanche control. It was great to have a slow start. My walk to the hardware store was breathtaking.





We circled up with the Birgfelds for the noon- opening. Unfortunately they only opened a few lifts, no Big Chief, no Tye Mill, and nothing on the backside. So the lines were horrendous. But it was still great to be up and after a hot cocoa break, the lines were much shorter at 3:00.


Heading up to 7th Heaven! The powder was insane!

Cally and I had fun getting fresh tracks on 7th Heaven and trying to keep up with the kids!













Wrapping up the day with an intense game of Fooz Ball in the drafty garage.
