Skiing 2010

Well, I guess Kelly is tired of updating our blog. At least that's my excuse for being "forced" to put these pics up here. I like to leave this up to her, but she says I should be more involved with the cardon8 blog-site. Just to punish her, I'm going to see how long and boring I can make this.

Corben and Trevor love to ski. Lucky for me, I love to ski too. It is expensive, but the exercise is good, and the time with the boys is invaluable. They are "forced" to sit for several minutes at the end of each run with me on the chairlift. Luckily, Trevor only fell off the lift once, right at the very end. Corben has the green coat on, Trevor has the blue one. I think that Corben was getting tired by the time I took this one.

This is Corben's third year skiing, and he is getting the hang of it pretty well. He is fairly cautious and a conservative skier. This is Trevor's first year. I don't take any kids until they have had their 4th grade ski day. He had his this year, so we could go with him now. Trevor is far more daring than Corben. He doesn't snowplow anymore, he is trying to parallel down the hill. He had a few nasty falls this year, but overall, has done very well. I've been impressed with both of them, and look forward to many more ski trips in the future.

We were lucky to be able to go to Deer Valley this year, thanks to Denny for scoring us some deeply discounted passes. Normally $86 per day each, we were able to go for $25 each.

Here are some pics of our last trip, Conference weekend, April 3rd, 2010.
