We took an afternoon ride down The Howler - Steamboat Springs' Alpine Slide. It was right next to the Rodeo grounds and the Howelsen Hills ski Jumping facility. After we hiked to the top of Howelsen mountain, we promised the kiddos a charilift ride to the top of the slide and then let gravity works it magic. Mo and Raine raced Reece down 2,400 feet of track, while taking in the beautiful views of Steamboat Springs. I was praying for Reece to make it the whole way down without a crash like last year in Breck. The Howler seemed much slower than Breck's slides. The kiddos still loved it and really wanted to go again.
They pose well even after all the complaining Raine does while she hikes.

My favorite hiking buddies.
We made it to the top of the chairlift.
Reece kept saying he wished it was winter
so he could snowboard the trails he has been hiking on.

Starting our trek back down the mountain;
kiddos reward a chairlift ride back up to the top.
