Alyeska Resort

6-7 March 2011 - Brett took the day off work Monday and the whole family went to Alyeska to take advantage of "Free Military Monday" at Alyeska Ski Resort about an hour drive south of our home.  We spent the night at the hotel there at the resort, taking advantage of the nice indoor swimming pool!  On Monday, Kjaristy and Austin strapped on their ski gear and hit the slopes while Brett, Loch, and Gunnar went swimming some more.

Austin's First Ski Lesson

Austin riding the magic carpet (much better than the glove chewing rope tow Brett had to learn on)

Kjaristy and Austin skied together for a good part of the day

Loch was not interested in skiing, but LOVED swimming
