Living the Life

If you were here with us, these are the people you'd be hanging out with.

Sadie is knitting me a nice blue mitten. She says I can only have one because I need to be able to drive with my other hand.

The size of the bowl is directly proportionate to the size of the appetite.

Marine is still a bit new to the waxing game. She's struggling with proper fitment of the gas mask.

Here's Sadie, earlier today.

Hailey

The boys gave it everything they had out there today

The alpine team came out and cheered for us today. It helped us a lot!

I saw this dog.

Here's Hailey getting an award. She's the one with the green flag.

Parents' Night!  Toomas' parents, Heidi & Tiit, are in town from Estonia to watch some ski racing and try out all of Steamboat's best skiing spots. And Hailey's parents, Bucky and Brick, drove up from Aspen to see their daughter get on the podium this morning. They all joined us for dinner at the team house tonight and they've made plans for a ski outing together at Rabbit Ears Pass tomorrow.

Earlier in the week, Anna participated in our UAA coach-exchange program. We're always happy to get Anna's insight and perspective that she brings from the alpine hill. For example, she was pointing out to Marine that her skis didn't match when this photo was taken. Andrew keeps close tabs on the coach-exchange program.

The other half of the coach-exchange program. The alpine skiers let me carry their jackets down the hill for them during slalom training at Howelsen the other day.

Marine took me out ski touring on the pass. We had a real nice time.

Andrew's annual trivia night contest here at the house. This year, the team who won was really intelligent.

If you're in the neighborhood, stop on by. We'll be here.

This is us, at the NCAA Championship opening ceremony.

The vibe in the Steamboat gondola was real good.

Dinner on the mountain. "On our own time"
