John and I headed out about 10.00 (have worked out it can be very icy if you head out too early) and skied some warm up runs. We met up with the others about 11.30 and headed of on a tour of a mountain. Last day today, so did trees, moguls, black runs and even one run that combined all three. Figured that it was last day and as long as I could walk to get on a plane it was all good. Have found that my knee has got stronger and stronger.
Did our final scout of the local shops for things to bring home for the girls (their fave shampoo and conditioner is looking like a good option at the moment!). Casey and I have been communicating over facebook messenger in regards to buying her a ski jacket, we have finally narrowed it down to one but of course not one that we can find in Steamboat. So we might spend one of the hours we have to kill in Denver, looking one last time for 'the jacket'.
We are heading out to Martin and Alison's for tea tonight with them and Jan and Pete who are staying there. I have enjoyed having Alison to ski with the last few days, someone to follow when we don't want to do the yucky black runs!
This might be our last post until we are back in Aus, so thought it appropriate to share one more pic of John and I enjoying the local conditions.
Great day, great company and great skiing - I slipped on the deck at lunchtime and felt a twinge in my ankle - figured you can't possibly break anything inside a tightly done up ski boot!
It does hurt a bit once out of the boot - Margo's first question was - "is it your driving foot?" luckily it is the left one and I can still walk so all good - and we have ibuprofen so I can dose up on that!
Roads look fine for drive to Denver (no snow for 10 days so no issues)
HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY - we are having an Australian theme at dinner tonite - see you all back home in Oz.....
