From Steamboat 2010

We got our latest start of the week this morning. We all slept in a bit later than other mornings, so that it was after 9am before we made our way onto the mountain. We headed over to the Sunshine Peak to enjoy the long fast runs over there before the lift lines began to get long. It was a beautiful, sunny morning with gorgeous blue skies. After making a few runs, we headed back to the top of the Gondola lift to meet the local family that owns the condo we're renting. They came out to ski for the day, and we skied a few runs with them. However, our aggressive skiing style clashed with their more laid back style, so we soon parted ways.

We spent much of the afternoon skiing in the trees in the Morningside Park area on the back of the mountain. The sun had warmed the snow, making it harder to ski in the powder, but there were lots of tracks through the trees, so that wasn't a big problem. We practiced our mogul skills as we skied around the bumps and trees. As we rode the lift back up, my daughters held bits of bread in their open hands, and the birds would fly down from the trees to eat.

All too soon, it was time to head back to the lower mountain for our final runs of the day. We now only have one more day of skiing left before we have to pack up and head home.
