Beaver Creek, Day 2

The main floor of our house

Day 2: The 15th of March
Day one of skiing.... Kids in ski school... Justin in boarding school.... Jordan, Lynnsay, HB, Austin and I taking it easy for day one....
Mom and dad went out with us in the morning to take pictures then they left to go run some errands... AKA shop and go to the grocery store! More emphasis on the shop part! We looked and looked all day to see if we could see the kids and Justin too. It was his first day of snowboarding and we tried to warn him how hard it was.... but he actually did REALLY good and picked it up! We were very impressed! Speaking of that, I should break down what we all do. Snowboarders: Me, HB, Lynnsay and newly Justin
Skiers: Jordan, Austin and the kids.
The way the hill was broken up where we stayed most of the time was that to the left was a gondola ride, that held 8 people, thank goodness that was all of us, and it took you up to an easy green to the left and a nice green to the right. For day one we stayed on the nice green. It had a couple of hills and we really liked that one! We finally ventured over to a normal ski lift and it was to the right of the gondola lift. It was called the cenntenial and it had an easy green that was way too hard for snowboarders so we stayed away from that... we usually took the blues down from that lift.
We had a childhood friend from Cameron that acutally works at a lodge in Beaver Creek so we called her up and she snowboarded with us for day one and two of skiing. Her name is Mindy and it had probably been 15 years since any of us had seen her. I have been keeping up with her over facebook, but thats about it! It was so good to see her and to hang out with her since it had been that long! She was really good and gets to snowboard all the time.
The lifts usually closed around 4 or 4:30 and that was usually when we were tired enough to go home. On day one the kids and Justin got done with school at 3 and 3:30.
Enough talking about day 2.... here are some pictures! And I PROMISE all the days wont be this long!!!!!!!!!!
