The Judki on Skis


Is there a baby in there?
Nice form, mom!
   No, the snow is still absent from Utah...and Colorado...and Idaho.  No, we have not converted all our skis to rock skis...yet.  Yes, the mini-man has gone skiing.  Not in the 'point them straight, at the top of an infamous chute, after a gnarly traverse, at the Bird' kind of way.  More in the 'load up in the parking lot as the snow falls gently down, into the baby carrier with our down onesie, to ski up a road, and ski back down said road' kind of way.  But don't miss the point that our favorite 7 week old baby has been out on skis! 
No snow, so boot fittings in the living room!
   The plan for the epic Utah winter is still a dream, but with 12 inches of the fluffy white stuff this weekend, the glimmer is a bit brighter.  Just to give you an idea, Snowbird had a storm last December that dumped 64 inches in 48 hours...yes, 5 feet of snow in one storm!  We are about 10 feet behind where we should be right now, but even a bad year here is 400 inches, so a lot of big powder days must be right around the corner.  Luke and mom are praying for more snow....and dad is shopping for the smallest skis out there.
