Update from Fall Camp in Colorado

lizkantackDecember 5, 2011

The whole team is back together and we spent the morning classic skiing under beautiful sunny skies at Snow Mountain Ranch in Granby, CO. The younger kids drove down to the lodge, scraped their skis, and headed out, while the older kids skied down from our houses and met us to do some technique drills. We did some skiing without poles, the running drill, and then tried to go down a hill on one foot – once on the right, once on the left. Those who are particularly skilled when it comes to balance tried going down the hill on one foot, then removing a ski, spinning it around their head and putting their ski back on! We’re enjoying camp so far and doing our best to adjust to the altitude by staying hydrated, keeping it easy on skis these first few days, and getting lots of rest. The internet is quite slow here, but we’ll do our best to keep the photos coming!

Some photos from the J2/J3 group’s travel day:

We flew right over school on our way from Boston! If you look closely you can see Stratton in the foreground and Bromley in the background and Manchester off to the left.

Happy to be in Denver!
