First race of the season for Age Class. Usually, it’s bitter cold and windy. This year, it was neither. The early morning drive was riddled with cars in the ditch and a nice heavy snow-fall the entire drive. At the resorts parking lot, the front-end loader they used to clear the lot was driven by a wild man. I’m not sure if he was having fun flying around in the deep stuff like it was butter, or actually trying to take us all out as we skurried to the warmth of the lodge.

Free-skiing was the best I’ve ever done at Loveland. Usually it’s icey and wind-blown. However, this past Sunday it was a major powder day.

Jodi was nervous and didn’t hike up to the finish on Dylans first race. Since it was his first official race since recovery, she wasn’t sure about watching. He was strong, confident and showed great potential. You see, I couldn’t help it I skied down and watched. We’re down playing his racing this season so knowing his time was not relevant. He looked great and I was extremely proud. His hard work through the summer and early fall training paid off.
