We made it to Colorado to ski! And I think it was our best ski trip yet. We've skied at Beaver Creek before, and it's one of our favorites. If you're looking for extreme skiing then you'd probably like other resorts better. But this is a great resort for families, with a big variety of terrain. Also, this year we skied at Beaver Creek every day, which was really nice. In the past we've gone to another resort on one of the days, and somehow it just never worked great. So it was nice to not have to deal with the stress of getting to, and figuring out, another resort. We also stayed in a different hotel this year. This hotel was right at the base of the resort, so we were by all of the restaurants and shops. That was super nice. We didn't drive our car once after we got there.
On our first day of skiing we put Sage in lessons. She was so mad and insisted she didn't want lessons and would hate them. The first thing she said at the end of the day..."Can I do lessons tomorrow?" That girl. But so glad she had a great experience. We ended up putting her in lessons the next day, along with Kate. Unfortunately, Kate didn't have such a great experience. But we now call Sage the bullet when we ski because she goes so fast, so that was a definite win.
The first day we were there it snowed all day, so we got to ski in powder. Jake and Zack made us go on blacks all day. My legs were beyond exhausted by the end of the day, but for once I actually enjoyed skiing blacks. The other two days were blue sky and amazing groomers. Best of both worlds for sure. I love a good groomer.
Anyway, we skied our guts out, and enjoyed just getting away from everything. Another win for the trip was that the roads were clear for our drive. So amazing. That drive is treacherous in the snow. Definitely an epic ski trip!!

| My favorite thing to do is the glow worm. We were all so exhausted I had to beg everyone to do it. But you ski down the bunny hill with glow sticks in the dark. It looks like a glow worm coming down the hill. So fun! |

| The candy cabin is a tradition. Obviously it was a very sunny day. Oh yeah, we watched a kid from ski school loading his pockets with candy. I gave him the evil eye. |
