It's tough to get 8 people (4 of them kids) up and out the door early in a cabin that only has 1 bathroom. We didn't get out as early as I had hopped but since it was a Friday, it wasn't very crowded on the mountain. Chris Chained up his minivan right after Government Camp since the signs said "Chains Required." We ended up helping a group of girls with California License plates put on their chains too. Well Chris did it while I finished up his. I didn't chain up our Escape so we got there much quicker than Chris.
The weather was perfect. New snow and a sunny day. We all spent the morning on the "Bruno" lift at Timberline. Caitlin and Alyssa (My nieces ages 8 and 6) were snowboarding for the first time. They did surprisingly well although getting off the lift with them wasn't much fun. I would pretty much pick Caitlin up when we got off so I could get us out of the way.
After lunch, Chris and I left Megan and the Girls on the bunny hill and took on some real runs. Chris hadn't been snowboarding in almost a decade but he wasn't all that rusty. I did take him on a black diamond run without him realizing it.
That evening we went to the cabin where our friends were staying. Their cabin was smaller than ours and had around 12 people staying there. We played very loud game of "loaded questions" and Brindy (our Dog) had plenty of attention.
