Ski Trip

Our winter break vacation was spent in Telluride, CO this year with the Chun family. It was an awesome trip with lots of fun and milestones made for the kids and myself. It was the kids' first ski experience and they did great! Ethan and Hayley took their ski lessons and Ethan even skiied down the green slope on his own! Wow! I had not skiied in over 15 years and got back into it with lots of great encouragement. I went down the green and double green slopes with not too much trouble and even made it through the blue slopes with some difficulty, but still survived it! Phew! I'm just glad that we all came home with no injuries.
Telluride is such a beautiful place and it was my first white Christmas! We stayed at Hotel Madeline which was highly recommended on TripAdvisor and it sure was a great hotel at a perfect location. The ski school and ski lifts are just outside the hotel and it has a ski valet which you can ski right into and check in your skis when you're done. We didn't even have to drive anywhere and we took the gondola to town for dinner. There is an ice skating rink right outside the hotel as well and Hayley really liked ice skating. What a great find, thanks to Linda!
Now that we're back, Ethan is already asking when we can go skiing again! Maybe we will have to plan another ski trip soon....
We took many pictures and you can check it out here.
