It turns out that you can save 50% of your ski related costs if you leave half of the family at home!
John and I hit the slopes at Alpine Valley. We arrived around 10:00 and quickly worked our way up through the greens, blues, and blacks. When we left at 4:00 pm, 31 runs down the hill later, with some fine memories of a great day.
Be sure to check out all of the images and watch the video of John catching some air. In case you're wondering, I kept my skis on the snow at all times.

2011 Devil's Head
Apparently when they predict 18 degrees as the daytime high the crowds stay away for the day. The Janezic clan broke out all of the gear and tackled the slopes - green, blue, and black.
After warming up our ski legs on the greens the beef stew and chilli at lunch did the trick to get us back out on the slopes to run the blues. The hot chocolate, fried cheese curds, and a beer for dad, along with a roaring fire, did the trick in the afternoon and gave the boys the courage to tackle some black runs.
They groom the slopes at five and by then we were pooped. Everybody slept on the 2 1/2 hour ride home - except for Jack. Picked up a deep dish pizza on the way home and finished off the day with a beer. Dead asleep by 10:30.
What's on the calendar for next weekend?
