Off to a good start, particularly as it's our Olympic year:
I didn't pull out the camera until well down the mountain, as the gently drifting snow in the valley turned to a flesh-scouring blizzard up top. Not a whole lot of visibility, in any case.
The kids burned themselves out to a highly satisfactory degree in chest deep powder, and puppy (abandoned to her crate while we skied) was pleased to aid the recovery process:
Wow. That is a good sign for the Olympic snow!

The snow covered trees look gorgeous and Catrionagh looks exhausted! The kids obviously had a great time. Hope the parents made out alright also.

Beautiful snow picture, and I love the ones of the kids. I had to really chuckle looking at DD and Eowyn. I think I know what you meant when you said that you had a cat that barked. Crossed paws and all! Glad you were able to go skiing together.

That is The Best picture. I think it is the paw crossing that does it.
