skiing

The family (minus jamie) went skiing monday (some holiday I can never remember the name of) to Lookout Pass (Idaho/Montana Border, right on I-90). A fun day was had by all, including poor Sara, who spent the entire day in snow-plow-configuration, as that's what beginners do. She was absolutely tired at the end of the day.

Auri made some huge steps in skiing, as she started doing parallel turns, as I've been teaching her the last few times we went skiing. I bet she'll enjoy skiing even MORE from now on, as this makes skiing much easier on the muscles.

I rented some really nice skis (atomic metron 10) and enjoyed them so much I decided to get my own pair. Unfortunately they are very expensive, so I decided for a competing brand instead (rossignol bandit b78), that is said to be equally good and was on sale. It's on layaway until we get our tax refund or I find enough coins in the couch, whichever comes first.

The weather was cold and windy and very cloudy/foggy. I got some nice pictures of the clouds blowing over and the sun just behind some trees.
