Late March skiing

Conditions were very nice at Nakiska at the end of March, though as you can see from the first photo, of Lara and Olivia, you could find some bare patches. The girls had taken me to an out-of-bounds area that their coaches had taken them to earlier in the day, and we skiied down the run that had been the first part of the Women's Downhill course in the '88 Olympics.


They had race training on a closed piste, and Brady Leman, the Canadian World Cup Ski-Cross competitor, was there to lend a hand (it helps that his girlfriend was one of Lara's coaches)..


It must have been a good day, it's rare that Lara AND Dan both fall asleep on the way home..
