Harmon fam

Back in March, my family came out to visit and this time Michael, my brother, came too. It's the first time he's been out to Denver to see where we live and hang out. We spent a lot of time out on the mountains and the trip was way too short but lots of fun.

Friday while I worked, Michael, Dad and Andy went to A Basin for the day. Mom decided her ski legs might not make it 3 days in a row so she hung out in Denver.

Dad in front, M in the back


Michael about to drop into a pretty steep bowl




Not great quality but you get the idea


Michael trying to swim about of powder. It can be really tough to get yourself back up when you fall is feet of powder (trust me, i have a fair amount of experience with this situation...) because there's nothing to brace yourself on, you just keep sinking lower and lower




Dad's crazy skills


oops...


And sadly this video was right before the beginning of the end of dad's career on the boxes... Andy conveniently ended the video just before the crash



Michael (he jumped really high)

On Saturday, we all headed up to Breckenridge for the day then spent the night in the mountains.



Lunch stop, andy looking good


Mom and I missed a turn, this is me pushing her back up the hill but we made it!


Michael


Sunday in line at Beaver Creek. Our cousin Lee (my mom's brother's son) happened to be out in Denver the same week for a work conference so we met up with him Saturday night. We piled all 6 of us into a hotel room (real family togetherness) and then got to ski with Lee on Sunday.

Lee does the telemark skiing and it hurts my knees just watching him but he makes it look easy


Momma taking a little rest


(she needed a little help getting her boots on in the mornings)
