Skiing

All the winter's skiing tied up in one neat post!

I took advantage of my semimonthly trips to Rexburg to visit Grandma Hendricks to ski at the Teton Lakes course a couple of times.

Our family checked out the new cross-country trail system at Twin Bridges Campground on January 28. Unfortunately, Miriam was only able to go on one loop because her feet started hurting her.

Winnie's class got to ski every day for a week with equipment on loan from the district. I came three of the four days to help the kids and to ski with them.

Andrea and Winnie in the school field on February 17. Some of the days it was so warm and sunny that the kids would make one loop around the field, then stop to take off their coats and leave them on the bench. This day, however, it was so cold and windy that several kids made one loop, then went back inside.

And then we took the whole family for some spring downhill skiing at Grand Targhee on Friday, March 4, when the kids were off of school. Winnie was scared of the lift and the top of Shoshone at first, but then she got back into the hang of it and was whizzing down the trails at a breakneck pace in no time. The day started out sunny and warm, but after lunch it got cold and cloudy. We had to put more layers on as the day went by.

Posing at the top of Teton Traverse. Going on this trail turned out to be a mistake because of (1) Miriam's fear of heights and (2) Miriam's bad feet. She didn't go on another run the rest of the day because they hurt so badly.
