We did it! This sort-of skiing family pulled off a ski trip to Steamboat and we had a great time. We chose Steamboat because of positive reports from friends who have been there and enjoyed the many green runs and laid back atmosphere, it turned out to be perfect for us. It snowed every single day we were there, 20+ inches total! We skied so much, Piper and Sully were total dare devils, every jump Sully would take, Piper was right behind. On one run, they went ahead of us and missed the turn landing on a blue run. Dave wasn't about to take that chance, so I followed them down while he and Greta took the safe route. I made my way down ever so slowly and when we got to the bottom, they were so pumped at their 'mistake,' haha! The family favorite run was the 3 mile Why Not that was filled with secret short cuts and little jumps, they did it over and over again. We enjoyed the restaurants on the mountain and spent a day in town looking through shops and having lunch. Our hotel was called Gravity Haus and it was super convenient to the main gondola, but quiet enough that we could regroup when we needed to (usually in the hot tub). The only snafu was Greta getting strep throat, fortunately the urgent care was handy and she was able to muster up the energy to ski after a Motrin dose and a Starbucks drink. Cheers to a great week!
