Special Olympics / Skiing

This morning we worked at the local Special Olympics Nordic events up at Bogus Basin, prior to the big statewide competition that kicks off next week. We had a lot of fun. You'll see a picture here of Christopher, Justin and Mom.

After those morning events, we went skiing up there, too. Today, we explored some trails that we hadn't been on before, and the scenery up there was absolutely gorgeous. Christopher had discovered these trails when he went skiing there yesterday with a friend, and he SWORE to us that they were easy trails. Well... he was about 95% right, but about the last 5% of these "trails" was quite a steep "bowl" - shall we call it. Steven's wicked face-plant-in-the-snow, tumble-for-many-many-feet crash, and my incredibly swollen knee tonight will tell you this portion of the "trails" was more than some of us could handle.

The view from these trails was absolutely gorgeous, as you'll see from photos herein. There are a total of 15 pictures on our Flickr account, too; please click here.
