Steve called at 8:15.
“We’re at Coalbank Pass. We’ll be in Silverton in fifteen”
I was still in bed, but with the amazing help of Alex, I was able to change, breakfast, pack and get Page ready to get to the trailhead by 8:30.
Steve, Ian and Irene, Murray and Courtney took me on the Anvil circumnavigation tour. It gave us five long runs, with all but the descent into Ophir Bowl giving us nice thick powder when we found the north-facing aspects.

Alex and Page flew to Durango from San Francisco for the start of our two weeks in the snow. I was waiting for my girls at the airport when they landed after driving via Reno and Salt Lake City with all the gear you need for skiing and babies and skiing with babies.
Cheryl and Kennan invited us to a party on Saturday afternoon at their self-contained cabin on Molas Pass. We had to ski in, so we took advantage and took Page out in the chariot for an hour or two beforehand. I also got a quick lap in above the cabin. I agreed with all the locals that the snow was good (for Colorado).
Page was hot property with all the little girls and their Mums. The girls in the pictures are Roan and Sailor. Page loved interacting with them as much as they loved playing with her.
Page seems to be energized in the mountains. She has never been happier, nor more vocal.

A perfect sunny Sunday for a ten mile hike.
Page was in fine voice.

Page and I often travel through town while she is tucked into her sling. Its my favorite way of traveling with her.
Beautiful, beautiful smiles. It seems that it is also Page’s favourite way of travelling.

I can’t stop smiling watching Page in the videos tucked up all warm and tight.
I also love the look on her face in the still photo. Is she thinking ?”I hope they take me for yet one more ski today”

What a fun first Christmas for Page. We opened our pressies on OZ time with Grandma and Grandpa Gibson. Lots of great gifts and Page seemed to enjoy ripping open the presents (and eating the wrapping paper). Thank you all for thinking of us, we hope you have a wonderful Holiday. We are hoping to get up to snow so we can use our presents, new skate skis, ski chariot, warm ski clothes for Page to ride in the Chariot while Mum pulls her, and lots more. Lots of Love and Best Wishes for the New Year! xoxo. Alex, Brendan and Page.
v2 looking good! Love the Fail Wale!

Wow, big girl growing up! Poor Poppy is still teeny, 5.5kg if we’re lucky between the 0.2 and 2nd centile at 6 months!
