February 14-Sundance

We celebrated Valentine's Day with a family ski outing-all 8 of us.

Waiting for Daddy to get the passes and for the fellas to emerge with their rentals

These lift pictures with the back of Timp are like a postcard

Lance needed some help down after he broke the binding off his ski-he wasn't hurt

I love the amenities at Sundance-like this fire.  Leith and I were finished before the others later in the day and he spent some time putting logs on the fire to keep it going.

Leith returned to the spot where he missed a curve and flew off the run, down the very steep slope, narrowly avoiding crashing into several very large trees before coming to a stop and waiting to be rescued.  India, Jonathon and Kevin all ripped off their equipment and plunged after him with their hearts in their throats.  Blessedly he was not hurt.  Everyone skied a bit more cautiously after that.  When I asked him what happened, he said it was like a dream.  I still feel a bit sick when I think about it.  But, all's well that ends well.
