This year for Thanksgiving break, we celebrated up in Blue River just the 5 of us. Governor Jared Polis mandated everyone to stick with their own tribe and not be with other groups. We decided to break the rules a little bit but mostly we were together, the 5 of us. We are good at being just the 5 of us! And one thing we do best is SKIING!! Lukas is 6 years old and can ski anything the brothers can ski. Our lives as a family started to change dramatically last year with Lukas keeping up and hiking the peaks at Breckenridge. So this year is a no-brainer and can ski together without even thinking about splitting up...well, maybe some moments when Lukas wants to warm up and rest his tiny legs. 😂 Unfortunately, the ski lodges are closed for sitting inside. This world is very strange right now but I don’t want to start with that!
Breckenridge was hurting with snow over break but we enjoyed 7 days of skiing, 3 runs, and the mini terrain park. Lukas loves the boxes! And Jonas has started to ski the pipes.
Keystone received 10” over night on Tuesday, so we headed over there to ski some powder...but you had to stay in the runs, lots of exposure still. Here’s Jonas jumping the little shrubs and mini trees.
There was a few times at Keystone that the ski patrol would open a run for us to pack down, so we made laps a few times before it was all skied out. All 3 boys would switch off skiing in line with each other and the leader would find the hip jumps or little rollers for everyone to ski. The best feeling riding through fresh snow and landed after a jump in soft snow.
An epic DAY!!!
We had to break the rules and see the Gills at their cabin in FairPlay. It was a much needed visit with them and the girls loved playing with the 3 boys. They sledded for a bit before it got too cold and dark, then came inside to build couch forts and obstacle course with the cushions.
Had a lovely dinner and finished off the night puzzling with Amanda, Polar Express 500 pieces.
