We went to Wengen, Switzerland with our friends the Tomlinsons for the Word Cup ski races. The Tomlinson's have a friend named Steven Nyman who is a member of the US ski team. We were able to see him race along with Josh's all time favorite skier Bode Miller. It was fun for Josh to see Bode not only race but win first place in the downhill. Josh and I stayed a couple nights in Interlaken. We had good food, good skiing, and most of all good company. Thanks to Tomlinsons for inviting us. It was great to meet Steven and his family. Steven's mom was so cute. She handed out pins saying "Believe in Steven", and we held a banner up when he raced. It was fun experiencing a World Cup ski race for the first time. The whole experience made me want to really learn how to ski. For the first time, I saw up close why Josh loves the sport so much.

What an awesome experience! Jonathan is so jealous! It was so great to see you guys over New Years.
How awesome is that! That's a once in a life time experience! Looks cold and fun!
Looks like a blast! I miss all you guys.
So what exactly made you see what Josh loves? What was it? What caused the moment? Was Josh thrilled? Are you going to learn?
;)
looks like so much fun! and the pics look really good too!
Fun stuff, I remember Steven Nyman. I know his parents too. I think Bode Miller is a great skier, but I don't like his attitude.

Looks like it was freezing! But it also looks like you had fun! My Dad is friends with the Nyman family, he actually works with Scott (Steve's dad). I miss the snow, my dad is works for K2 skis and is a hard core skier, he started me when I was 2 years old. My brother in laws name is Daniel Booth. He works in SLC.
I think I'm officially living my traveling-life vicariously through you, Janelle! What a life, eh?!
My brothers all skiied with Steve Nyman and my dad was Scott Nyman's companion in coaching skiing way back when Sundance first opened. AND, Becky Nyman (Steve's mom) was MY ski teacher!!! We are big fans of the Nymans!!! It's so cool that you got to see him ski there!!!
wow, what an experience. It is always fun when you get the chance to experience something that you rarely get to do. So much fun! i thought of you today when I heard about the art robbers, scary! I hope that they find them and that you guys don't have any expensive pieces of art in your house.
So fun! That's great. And how funny is it that I think Steven went to elemetary school with me at Canyon Crest? I remember his name. What great adventures you're having over there.
