January 2-7, 2023 we joined several other families that we know through soccer on the first ever Colleyville Ski Club ski trip to Snowmass, Colorado. We stayed at the Snowmass Mountain Chalet which was right on the slope so we could ski-in and ski-out. The kids skied 3 days and DJ and I skied 4 days.

January 2 – our original flight into Aspen was canceled the day before we were schedule to leave so they re-routed us through Houston (rather than Denver). The flight was later than our original booking, and then it was delayed another couple hours, so it was late when we finally arrived.

January 3 – we rented the kids’ skis/snowboard and hit the slopes. It was too cold and snowy for me take any photos beside this one of Raine on our way back from the ski shop next door to the hotel.

January 4 – Raine took too long to get ready in the morning, so we skied without her for the first couple hours.

The snow was perfect.

Raine was eventually ready so I skied back to pick her up.

January 5 – we all headed out together and had perfect weather.

Carter snowboarding down a blue run.

Raine skiing down a blue, then a black diamond.

That night, all the adults went to a nice dinner at Little Mammoth Steak House. Before we left, we took a group photo in the hotel lobby.

January 6 – Daddy and I skied all by ourselves in the deep powder on the black runs. It was exhausting!

That night, we down to the Snowmass Village to eat crepes for dinner.

January 7 – We didn’t have to leave for the airport until 3:00, so Raine and Daddy went to ride the mountain coaster while Carter and I took the bus over to Aspen to look around.
