Winter activities

Lots of snow to play in this winter -snow forts....
The boys and a neighbour built a bobsled course in the backyard with the hardpacked snow and tobagganed through the course from the carport to the back shed!

Skiing this year progressed well for Gideon. Here at during a field trip he began on the beginner hill....
...warmed up by lunchtime!
....then contemplating more serious runs! "Blast Off" is a black diamond run for uncles who are very experienced...so I managed to dissuade Gideon this time but on our next family ski outing he was taking all the little side jumps along the runs!
...and at home, he took up snowboarding in our backyard bobsled course!
...soft landing. He stuck to skiing and by Good Friday was doing blue runs at an elevation of 6300 ft. Peter did ski black diamond that day much to mommy's chagrin when it was relayed to me by telephone!!
