Childhood Ski Vacation

When I was little, I went on a week-long ski vacation with my family in Steamboat Springs. The Steamboat Ski Resort is too far from Denver to do a day trip there, so it's best if you plan on staying a few days.

My dad wanted to plan a really awesome ski vacation, so we rented a condo and stayed a week. Our condo was literally right off the slopes, so we could go out the back door, put on our children ski wear and skis, and get right on the slopes. It was amazing, though I was too young to really know it at the time!

I remember during that trip I had a red kids snowboard jacket and matching red kids ski pants. Actually, thanks to my thrifty mom, that's probably the only time I ever matched! I also remember doing a week of lessons, and then racing and getting a bronze medal at the very end of the week.

It was a great childhood ski vacation!
