Okemo Ski Vacation

The kids love skiing so it was time for a trip to Vermont. The kids counted the days, Julia talked a lot, and RJ actually smiled for pictures.

Day 1: Travel 

After a long drive and a meal at Subway with no vegetables, we arrived, skated, went to church, and skated some more. 

We got started early and the kids zoned in on their devices

Day 3: Another Blue Bird Ski Day

RJ up to his normal shenanigans. RJ spent a lot of time off road.

RJ spent a lot of time on double-blacks. Supernova sign above. Black Hole and ungroomed trails were his other favorites.

The GoPro provided some entertainment. RJ was the official photographer.

Day 4: Blue Bird Ski Day with Powder

Overnight we got 4 inches of fresh powder, which changed conditions considerably. With smaller weekday crowds and high temps of around 40, the conditions were great!
