Snowmass 2016

Our ski trips out West have become quite the family tradition.  This year we joined the Hyatts for another Snowmass adventure.  For the first time, the flight out was smooth, we arrived before the sunset, and none of the kids got sick.  The weather was gorgeous, 40's and 50's most of the week, with one day of snow (4-5") in the middle, and great skiing conditions on all the slopes.  Our condo, Tamarack 34, was right across the street from ski school, probably even more convenient than the condos right on the slopes we've stayed in in the past. We had a lovely Valentines's day lunch at Lynn Britt Cabin, and another amazing dinner at Matsuhisa.  The kids both did great in ski lessons, Owen shot up to level 5 in the 7-9 year old group, and Nora had a great time with her instructor Lollipop and cruised up to level 4 in the 5-6 year old group.  We got to ski with the kids in the afternoons after lessons when they were up for it, and on the last day Owen skied with us the whole time. Our last morning in Aspen, we visited the Ice Age Discovery Center for a fun extra activity between checking out of the condo and catching the shuttle to the airport for our conveniently timed early afternoon departure.  All told, an absolutely wonderful trip :-)
