Despite the day yesterday not ending as we hoped, overall, the time spent
@killingtonmtn is better than any day at the office. The day in series. Photo one - waking up to sunshine sans kids. Nevada stayed home to be with her classmates for the weekend.

their cartoon versions in "Ghost of Ullr" - Steve, John and Peter #skilfilm #skifamily Superstar and the K1 summit, well hardly visible took some ginger turns.

We got to meet with our sort of adopted ski daughter Tali who many of you have seen in our edits. The last one we got to film with her was "Imagination" - in fact her whole family has been part of our video edits for 10 years.

Then Ray got to ski with his twin brother
@rennieandbear on Superstar which they refer as "stupidstar" since the mogul sizes are stupid big.

We met up with our good friends Jeff & Beth @bethgelber to then hit the summit to hit Double Dipper. Another ski family that has been in many of our edits over 10 years too. Love this family too. Our favorite edit with them is "Perfect Day".

As we were all exiting out of a tricky passage from dipper, this guy yells over - asking if we were the Albas. Turns out it was @jbucciskis who has seen us many times @picomtn Though we never met. It was very cool - he rips too. We hit Double Dipper again - run of the day.

Alicia rocked Double Dipper. It was a workout for sure.

It was a great day to ski. Sad to see our season really wind down. We have one more weekend & we are going to make the best of it. Then we go get our son from college. Looking forward to being with him. Who knows, maybe one more weekend.

Well the last photo was how the day ended, with a dent on our door. The guy that hit us was nice enough to stick around; good guy and these days that is hard to find. Turns out we have a few common connections; one being @freeskier423 since he mainly skis at Whiteface. Small world.

The door will get fixed; bummed though we are all good.

Ski you next weekend. Closing our 2023 season.

What a weekend! The epitome of spring skiing - war

What a weekend! The epitome of spring skiing - warm bluebird days and skiing with friends and family (@rennieandbear , @nawadas_ , @anabel_wahl , @maha.latte ) Missing our son who is still away at college.

The three mottos for the weekend were:

1- "Get it before it melts," If a run was good earlier in the day you were not guaranteed that walking would not be required a couple of runs later. We did not get to ski some of our favorite runs as the snow was disappearing quickly. We still got in a lot of good skiing in, but sad we didn't get to ski Ovation.

2- "Give me an easy steep run". Not the oxymoron you think it is. If you skied this weekend you know that pushing through the mash potatoes was a lot of work. Panic Button, Skylark were some of our favorites. (Superstar will soon be the only run, so saving it.)

3- "I am so tired, but I don't want to stop"
Combines 1 & 2. All good things must come to an end. Let's just hope that mother nature will be kind a little longer.

SkiEaster Weekend Part 1 @killingtonmtn

It does not get much better than 3 Bluebird Days in a row!

It wasn't @picomtn but we still ran into many of our ski friends, afterall it is the place to be for spring skiing.

Bonus, we got to ski with @maha.latte on the 12 year anniversary of when we met at @sugarloafmountain Skiing on 🐰 too.

We also introduced one of @nawadas_ classmates to skiing (it was actually his 2nd time) and now he is hooked!

The 1st photo from Killington Peak was their last run taken after 4 pm on Easter Sunday! So tired but full of smiles!

A few photos from Closing Weekend @picomtn for the 22/23 Season!

The season certainly seemed too short, but it always does. We had a great time finally being back at Pico full time. We got to ski with many of our old friends and new friends as well. There were a lot of friends we missed, but most of all our son, who is away at college this year. We will cherish the days we got to ski with him over the break.

If we missed you at Pico, we hope to catch you on Superstar at @killingtonmtn aka #thebeastoftheeast

Until next year Pico....

With our adopted ski daughter @lindsay_mckeon here @picomountain. Conditions are a tad firm. Sad considering how much snow we got this week. It's bullet proof and it either needs to warm up or ❄️. Hoping for snow.

Another year around the Sun for Alicia and a great day to pamper your better half. Homemade Indian meal, and cake. The kids did most of the cake. Beat tired though worth it. Now I know what Alicia does most of the time.

Happy Birthday Alicia.

@nawadas_ and @sandro_alba__ thanks for helping out.

The family that makes cakes together, gains weight together. LoL

We thought Nevada (now 14) was good before - cow - she has vastly improved. #skigirl #daughter #proudparents #skifamily #skiracing @picomtn - Thanks @picoskiclub for the footage! We have a hard time keeping up with this kid now. What an incredible program - see you at States this weekend @burkemountainofficial

Nevada had her first ever GS race this weekend K

Nevada had her first ever GS race this weekend

Killington Resort and considering she has only had a couple of days on GS skis and training, we think Nevada did very well. 60+ competitors and she got 24th overall.
Funny that shaving off a couple seconds would placed her in the top 20. The winner of the event Piper Keane is an amazing skier as is her family.

Nevada is improving though still has a ways to go. Important thing for now is that she is having fun. She wants us to move up there so she can get more time on the snow. #skifamly

Next week we hope to be Sugarbush Resort for the GS event there.

Thanks Pico Ski Club for the coaching and to Nevada's teammates. Shout out to Paige for making the top 12 and to her friend Sophia (KMS) for breaking the top 10.

And we would also love to thank Jeffrey Farbaniec and Beth for coming to cheer Nevada on. Their daughter Sylvie was a forerunner for this event, an incredible athlete too. U16 with KMS recently scoring some placings also in her HS competitions. She was QUICK. Sorry to not have gotten video of her.

Lastly, thank you @kirsten.erlandsen and @oneofthekyles15 for coming over to cheer Nevada on. My 🧠 is a bit foggy still this morning.

Another great @picoskiclub and @picomtn family wee

Another great @picoskiclub and @picomtn family weekend for Nevada and her mom and dad. Getting to see her rip on her GS skis during team practice was impressive. Our friends Gunther and his wife asked how Nevada was adjusting to racing and training and I pointed at the kid ripping down the hill. His comment was "that's Nevada". He was impressed and he was also one of those guys giving her tips when she was a little little kid. Spending time with them was nice too as well as with our friends @meghamiltonmckeon and her lovely daughter @lindsay_mckeon .

@nawadas_ got to break in two new skis this weekend. Her GS skis and he new all mountain skis which weigh nothing.

@rennieandbear got to try his new touring setup which should get him into some peak fitness soon. As for us, it was ski hard then apres.

It is nice to be with our ski families. Like old times though the kids are all bigger. And to see a few families kids also start to race..

Needless to say, we are missing our son in college. We get to hopefully ski with him again during his spring break in March.

See you next weekend at Nevada's race at @killingtonmtn. She could use a bit of luck. It's her first GS race.

Thanks all. Ski you soon.

New ski day for the girl and new poke day for mom. Thank you Aspen East..@nawadas_

This weekend was race #2 for Nevada. She is new to

This weekend was race #2 for Nevada. She is new to this part of skiing, though she has seen a few gates in her life, it was never really competitive or as technical. Nevada is an eager learner and let's say that she is begging us to move closer to Pico so she can do this full time. The kid has a ton of natural talent, now it is up to her and for her coaches to give her the knowledge, perseverance and wisdom to be the best possible ski racer. Certainly she has sportsmanship and the willingness to be part of a team. Nevada has always exhibited that.

The Pico Mountain Ski Club program is great and we wish we were able to start Nevada in this program sooner. We told her in 2020 she could start. Well, we know where that went. She is making the best of it and she is enjoying it big time. As for our wallets, well that hurts.

We will post a video of her 2 runs, her first wasn't what she wanted; she didn't get a good understanding from the 1st slip and when the forerunners were going, she couldn't see the gate set up. The pains of drawing #1. Live and learn. She still smiled and made sure to do better her 2nd run. Video to come soon.

As for us parents, we got to see some old friends, our kids racing together; special times. And Saskadena is amazing. We want to get back their to film.

Speaking of edits, we are sorry that it's taking us a long time this year. Work, other priorities and economics have been a challenge lately. Also, the weather has been uncooperative. We are working, slowly. Give us a like to help us get motivated.

We hope you are well. Hitting the powder today here out East. The post have been amazing.

And just like that - Sandro is heading back to school again. It will be a couple of months before we see him again - March.... Looking forward to spending a few Spring break ski days wit him.

After years of Nevada asking to race; and our tell

After years of Nevada asking to race; and our telling sometime ago when she would race the fall of 2020 - well we all know how that went. Today we are very impressed with her skiing. Her first race, only a few days of training and her first time wearing all her gear; in the top 20 out of 69. I would say, not bad. Not bad.
Next week, race #2.

Footage was from dad, mom and Nevada's uncle Rennie Alba

Pico Mountain - thanks for today
Pico Ski Club -
Skiology - you are the SKI TUNE masters - next week we hope for a top 10.

Yes, it has been a while... Work, life, and other

Yes, it has been a while... Work, life, and other things getting in the way of being creative. Also, motivation. All we have to say is, thanks to Ski The East for producing that edit the other day to get us off our butts. Sneak peak of what's to come..

We hope 😉.

Whiteface; keeping fingers crossed it is good....

Nevada smashing it on her SL skis.
Stay Tuned..

What an incredible day to ski with our ski family

What an incredible day to ski with our ski family friends that we have not seen in so long due to COVID restrictions. It is like old times, but our kids are bigger, way bigger and in college or finishing or starting high school soon.

We so look forward to more days like these and taking advantage of the slopes and charm of @picomtn .

With @nawadas_ @lindsay_mckeon, her mom @meghamiltonmckeon and @lailah.p0llack_ along with our son @sandro_alba__

As they say, better late than never! Got here in t

As they say, better late than never! Got here in the afternoon, got several laps in with Toad and Kirsten which some of you know is as rare as Gold. In fact it was their first time skiing together since COVID and they are married to each other. Almost 3 years and so glad we got to spend quality time with our ski family here. Just missing a few people like @meghamiltonmckeon and family. Plus a few others we can't tag.

Hopefully we will see them all this week. We are older, our kids are bigger and some like ours in college. Such a mind trip. Totally..

Again McMerry O'Christmas to you .

Well the day finally came, you know the big one. We hope you had a very McMerry O'Christmas, the best possible.. with @nawadas_ and our son Sandro. Nice to be all together.

Merry merry... Happy happy.
