This year we decided to ski for spring break and try somewhere new! We ski'd Purgatory which is right outside of Durango, CO. The mountain was the perfect size , we even ran into a couple friends from Aledo! Maddy was a skiing machine this trip and ski'd open to close every day! Emerson and I did not ski the last day because it snowed all day. I take that back, Emerson ski'd the morning then came in. I had a broken thumb and knee pain so I opted out of skiing the snow storm. We had a great time in the moutains and can't wait to get back!
