Full Speed Ahead

Skiing.  It's what we do in Breckenridge in the winter.  The conditions were ideal our first day out, and then the weather and visibility tanked for almost a week.  I mean, temps that never made it to the double digits (in Celcius, they never made it above -12, as the high), the wind that blew, and almost no visibility.  All conditions that kept us home.  And then we sucked it up when it hit anywhere above 15 degrees.  No matter - it was fun.  A blast, really.  And I only have a few snaps and videos to prove we were there at all because we were too busy running the slopes.

First lift, the first day.

Before really heading down the first run.

Holiday's always mean a line at the bottom.  So we try not to hit bottom.

Instead, we stay mid-mountain and keep riding up.  But then the lifts are slower.  This gives me time to take great snapshots when sitting, but I am not sure it saves us any time.

She posed for me so I could show how bad the visibility was.  We are pretty close to the bottom.  We should be able to see the runs of Keystone in the background...

This is what it was like on the way up.

Final Run.  Final Day.

Hot chocolate for the gondola ride home.

And of course the many entertaining faces of MadHatter.

Until next time Breck.
