I'm back in the snow, skiing with the kids.
I could easily survive without skiing in June, but the kids insist. They want their summer-skiing this year, like previous years. We go up to the mountains for a few days in the beginning of school's summer vacation.
The kids love it, and I must admit I enjoy it myself too.
Today, we had a great day on the glacier. Nice and sunny weather, and no wind. Now it's time for BBQ at the camping down in the valley >:)
(The picture is from the glacier today on the kids' play ground, the terrain park. It's my good old skis and poles in front of the rock.)
Skiing in June is such a foreign concept to me. I couldn't find snow within 500 miles if I tried. I love that you can, though. Glad you're having a nice time :)
ReplyDeleteOh, to be able to ski in the summer months. Heaven. And not cold! ;)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
RosieC: We have been skiing the first week of kids' summer vacation for many years, and now it's become a tradition, impossible to get out of. Kids love to be back on the snow. It's almost two months since the end of the regular (winter) skiing season.
ReplyDeleteJayne: Hehe, I enjoyed your wordplay here, and you're right >:)
I'd settle for snow and skiing in winter.
ReplyDeletebreathtaking scenery. sounds like a nice time!
ReplyDeleteAlex: Yes, that's the normal thing to do
ReplyDeleteid: Thanks. Yes, we're having a good time >:)
Totally beautiful. I've seen a glacier in Montana. No one got to ski on it, I don't believe. We did walk onto part of it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Skiing in the summer? How cool.
ReplyDeleteLiz: Summer skiing is great when the weather is good. The kids love it and insist on their summer skiing vacation. Little boy and I went back home tonight. Older boy will be on the glacier with his buddies for another three days >:)
ReplyDeleteHelen: Hiking on glaciers is nice too, but be aware of crevasses. Most glaciers require special equipment and approach (walking several people in line, connected with a rope, and using iron crampons). The glacier we're skiing on is a nice and kind one; crevasses are small, usually less than a foot wide, and can be filled in with snow, for safe skiing >:)
