Snow day

Monday Jan. 14th was a snow day. It started snowing late
Sunday night and snowed most of the day Monday.
We decided to take the kids to Crotched Mtn.
Breanna was supposed to have her 1st snow board lesson the
previous Friday but was canceled because of rain.
I actually didn't take any pictures of our day at Crothced - just
having too much fun I guess. The fresh snow made for really
great conditions. We all went up the beginner run when we got
there - Kevin & Bre on snow boards (1st time on
her real snowboard) and Braden & I on skis. It was a bit tough to
get much speed in the fresh snow so Breanna decided she didn't
like that and wanted to go up the chair lift to the top. The fresh snow
worked out pretty good for Braden tho because he doesn't know
how to ski yet and just wants to keep his skis right together
and go straight down - That technique was fine with this fresh
snow up the lift and down the hill he went all day long, but realized
on Friday when we went back for Breanna's lesson that
it didn't work so well on icy conditions - quite a bit faster!
