Ski Trip

This past weekend we went to Devil's Head in Wisconsin to ski. We had a group of eight: me, my sister Erin, my brother Brett, Justin and my cousins - Kyle, Kelsey, Kelly and Chris.

We drove up early Saturday morning. Saturday was a beautiful day for skiing! Sunny and warmer! The snow was a little slushy in places, but that was probably good for the newbies. Erin made most everyone wear helmets - we didn't want any head injuries! Turned out to be good for a few of the skiers! : )

Here are a few pics from the weekend...

Everyone heading up the "magic carpet" on the bunny slope


And we have a man down already! Chris is horizontal and his skis are vertical = bad combo!


And another one bites the dust... Kelly is down!


Chris gives me the thumbs up as he heads back up


Brett and Erin on the ski lift; and Kelsey and Erin on the ski lift

Give me a smile, Erin!


Chewbacca, a storm trooper and Luke Skywalker (carrying Yoda) - who knew they were skiers?!?


By the way, their friends were wearing bikini tops to ski in (guys and girls). One of the guys wiped out and scraped up his back and arm pretty badly. Wearing bikinis to ski = not the best idea that guy ever had.

Even a stormtrooper needs a break now and then

Brett's helmet may be a bit big!?!


Chris and Kelly call it an early day


Kyle and Kelsey (she's a natural!) skiing


The people mover was pretty cool (but it was really slow!)


There was a special race at the end of Saturday called the Chinese Downhill. Basically, everyone starts at the top at the same time and whoever makes it to the bottom first wins. Doesn't sound like the best idea to me. The medical staff was on stand-by with their tobaggons. We saw it from inside the room... everyone was snaking down the mountain together in a big pack. It looked cool!
