Spring Break in Telluride

We went skiing at Spring Break this year with the Tommey family again.  The Tommey's had never gone skiing in Telluride, so Jason was excited to show them his favorite Colorado mountain!  We arrived on Monday, skied 4 days, then flew out on Saturday (but actually made it home on Sunday due to flight delays).  It was an awesome trip with a great snow base, a ton of snow while we were there, and great company!
Taylor loves to help her sisters get organized with their packing

We made it to Montrose, and headed in our rental car to Telluride

We got a Cassidy Ridge three bedroom condo in Mountain Village:

On our first night, we took the Gondola down to the town of Telluride to have dinner:
Love walking around this town

Our buddy Scott came to see us at dinner


We put the kids in ski school on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Taylor and Addie were able to be in a class together and were placed in level 4, and Camryn was placed in level 3.  While the kids were in school, the four adults were able to ski together.  The weather was beautiful and very sunny.

Not a ton of powder, but the weather was great!

Jason, Will & Sarah would go down some crazy double blacks

Apres ski time!

The kids had fun playing next to our table during the Apres Ski

Scott came over for a bit that evening

Wednesday lunch in Telluride


The kids did great in ski school and we got great reports from their two days:
Taylor's reports

Addie's reports

Camryn's reports

Sarah and I were disappointed that we didn't have a hot tub this year
So we made our own hot tub, haha!

The adults played Spades everynight

We skied with the kids on Thursday and Friday

It snowed like crazy during the last two days

Camryn and I took a little break from the snow in the Warming Hut

We ran into their coach during lunch

After each day on the mountain, we would unload all of our ski gear into lockers and hang out for a bit in the Latitude 38 hangout area.  Then we were a quick 3 minute bus ride to our condo.  The logistics worked out well.

Last day on the mountain

Taylor loved to jump and ski through the trees

It snowed so much on that last day

Chilling at Latitude 38

Special kid drinks on the last night

Sweet girls tuckered out

We always buy a mountain sticker when we go skiing and put it on the girl's helmet.  The Tommey's noticed the sticker and asked why we had a medical marijuana sticker on Taylor's helmet.  What?!!?  We thought we bought her a "T" for Telluride sticker three years ago?  Guess not!
Apparently a very inappropriate sticker to have on a 10 year old's helmet

New sticker for Taylor's helmet

We had some time before the airport, so we hung out downtown and ate at Brown Dog Pizza

Time to go home - awesome trip!
