Skiing in AZ



We went up to Snowbowl in Flagstaff this last weekend and it was quite fun.  I love to ski.  It makes me really happy to fly down a hill on sticks, to crouch down and rip it up.  Since I can't take pictures of myself while doing that you will have to imagine.  Above is one of Kristen and I waiting to go up the lift. 

  Jill and Christy went snowboarding while Kristen and I, after a short lesson from Kristen to Jill and Christy, hit the big runs.  My boots didn't fit my calves very well so I didn't get as much skiing in as I wanted due to pain.  Downside to renting. 

Kristen is a good skiier.  I mean really good, was an instructor in Utah good.  Ya.  She challenged me, which I like and tried to teach me too.  I wish she would have gotten a picture of me falling down the hill after the mogul attempt.  It was fun to fall again.  I haven't fallen in a long time.  I am not a mogul skiier but I would like to try again. 
This is Kristen headed down the best run by far.  She was telemark skiing.  

The snow and skiing was fantastic and it was a balmy 45 degrees or so.  As you can see from Jill being in her underwear that it wasn't cold.  Couldn't ask for a better place to live than AZ in the winter, cause when we hit Phoenix again it was in the 70s.


Buster came along cause I felt bad leaving Eric with 5 dogs overnight.  Buster by far is one of the best behaved but is loud... a lot. He was a very good boy this trip.  He loves to go anywhere and Kristen's little girl, Ila, seemed to like him on the way up and back.

This was the beginning so I will end with it.  Christy and Jill looked 100% better than this at the end of the day.  I didn't see them but I am sure of it!
