Alpine Valley Ski trip

Just love this picture of Callahan




We spent 3 days at Alpine Valley skiing. This is our 3rd straight year heading to WI after Christmas for some family time and skiing. We had a wonderful time together. WI is a great place for practice skiing before we head out to Keystone in Feb. Tim's parent have a home there. Callahan has taken to skiing like a duck to water. He was bombing the black diamond runs and jumping, hence Tim getting him a helmet asap. Must protect that brain.



This was my first time to Alpine, Tim went there often as a child. The hotel was cute nothing fancy, but the skiing was outside the door. Convenient. You can see the mountain lit up in the background.


My big boys

Tim and TJ. TJ hasn't been on skis since he was about 3 years old. The last 3 years he has snowboarded, but a wipe out on the first day hurt his left wrist (not the pitching arm thank God) It was near ZERO and icy so he flipped to skis.

Cal and Tim above and Cals jump below

This is the jump Cal went over, the 2 guys in the foreground are adults so you can see the height of the jump and how far you have to go to land. Callahan wiped out, but he was the only one that would try it. God Bless him for trying

Grandpa came up for a day and helped karrick get comfortable. Grandpa started Tim and his brothers out sking by age 3 or 4. Tim was competing and winning at 4.

A bunch of kids had rooms next to ours, so we all kept our doors open so they could run in between rooms

Who is that cute snow bunny?



No ice? Use an icicle
