Steamboat Springs

            Over spring break my family and I took a vacation to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Overall my vacation was a great success. I spent the majority of the vacation skiing and hanging out with my relatives. We stayed at my relatives and drove out to Colorado with our skies in a torpedo shaped object strapped down to the top of our car.
            The first day we skied without my good local skiing cousins. We skied instead with their dad, who is also a pretty godlike skier. As a local he guided us down the main resort mountains best runs. We mainly skied upper mountain because that's where the good snow was at. To me the snow was either 3 categories, powder, (the best for skiing, fresh snow) ice, (slippery and a workout to ski on) and normal snow (no ice just snow but it's not fresh snow, been skied a lot). All the time i there it was just normal snow. The day right after we left they got two feet of snow, which would have been awesome to ski.
            The extreme part of the trip was when my cousins come in. Both of them are around my age and they're really good skiers. They go straight down even the steepest runs and call people "moving gates". They also know all the good back country skiing routes to take my brother and I on. The last day their we went back country skiing in trees, by all sorts of cliffs, and steep parts. It was really sweet to have a local skier to take us skiing that way. I had a tremendous amount of fun.
