steamboat's alpine slide {the howler}

Several friends and my brother, David, have told us that we just HAVE to ride the alpine slide here. It's simple: ride the chairlift up the mountain, then get on a sled-looking thing and slide down as fast as you can! It would be an understatement to say that we all had a BALL!!
 about to go up the mountain -- chairlift is behind the boys
 there's just something creepy about riding a chairlift in the summer! maybe you don't seem as far off the ground when snow is underneath... i don't know... but it's a little nerve-wracking!
 Jerry and Carter are on!
 looking back down the hill... you can see the bottom of the slides, and the rodeo/stables area is behind that...
 Grayson and I rode up together
 looking back down the hill the other way... this is one of the areas used for olympic ski jumping training
 Grayson on the lift with the slides in the background
 my palms are sweaty just looking at Carter being that far off the ground... oh my
 coming up to the top!
 the top of the alpine slide... the slides are those blue things to the left, lined up and ready to go
 the four of us -- Jerry and Grayson beat Carter and me down ;)

 C had a ball -- loved going fast!! So did I...
