Spring Break 2012

We are addicted to skiing.  We did so good at Christmas that we decided to go again for Spring Break.  After some research we decided to go somewhere within driving distance and settled on Angel Fire.  We loved that it was also ski in and ski out.  Each year we go to Ruidoso it is a pain to load the car each day to head up the mountain and then unload it all to ski.

David has been skiing since he was a little boy so he is much better than us.  I had attempted skiing many times over the last 10 years but in recent years I have really focused on my technique.  I can say that I am a good skier.  I can keep up with David just fine.  Madalyn is a cautious kid but that seems to have helped her.  She started off slow but now she is skiing like a professional.  She is still cautious but she will at least attempt it all.  Weston, on my sweet Weston...this kid is literally good at everything he tries and skiing was no exception.  He had only skied this past Christmas break for a few days.  He went to a day long ski school and then had 1.5 hour private lesson.  Well, that was all it took.  He was skiing down blues like he had been doing it forever.  He just lets himself go...which is great but also scares the crap out of me.  I have to look away a lot because I am so afraid but he really seems to know how to handle himself on the mountain.  His instructor at the school he took during Spring Break had them prepared to do a black run, a black run, a black run...yes, I repeated myself on purpose because I am far from ready to do a black run.

Here are a few pictures from our trip.  It was a blast and we highly recommend you try out Angel Fire.
