Right now our friends at SHAPE are enjoying "Ski Week". Pre-Lenten break is the proper term, but, for most, it's ski week. Last year Brian had a conference the week before ski week, and dang it, it had to be in Garmisch. Grrrr. So, the kids and I tagged along and here is what went down...
Insane, ridiculous amounts of snow. There was a day or two where you couldn't see a foot in front of you, it was coming down so heavy. Isn't this gorgeous?
Below, a bunch of pictures of the kids during their ski school. They absolutely loved it. I'm happy...and surprised a little as I am not the hugest fan. I'm proud of them, and to think their introduction to skiing was in the Bavarian Alps...and on a gondola by day three. Matthew had two ski weeks in the French Alps under his belt at this point thanks to school field trips. We miss that school very much.

Several friends are in Garmisch now for ski week, and it seems they are having to make snow. What a difference a year makes.
UPDATE: Just went back a bit in the blog entries and see that I already covered this event. Obviously been away too long and I apologize for the redundancy and my spaciness.
