Jane and Johannes visit












It's been all go since they arrived a week ago on March 26.

Apart from fabulous downhill skiing at Snowmass from day 1, we drove over to the vast Spring Gulch x-country ski area above Carbondale and were joined by Alan & Darlene and Gracie.

We collected Gaby on the way home and took him to the Rec Center in Snowmass where Johannes was a star with Gaby ( and us ) on the climbing wall.Combined scrabble with climbing - brilliant. Then swimming in the heated pool in the dusk with Snowmass Mtn as a back drop .

Thursday was a superb powder day and with bus driving not starting till 11 ( M working all day ) , I was able to enjoy it with J & J taking in Sneaky's trees , Power line glades and Garrett's Gulch , Cirque headwall and the Hanging Valley Wall . Trying to work Johannes in gently to the Power of 4 race planned for Saturday and with his tele-skiing on steep slopes needing a bit of work before then , we were glad to get some steepish runs under his belt. More on Power of 4 later. Meanwhile J & J both showing great style and form.
