Skiing in Colorado...

So after a week of working hard in Wyoming I hit the little plane back to Denver. I booked 2 nights at Keystone Resort up by Vail so I was ready for a couple days of skiing and rest... I got my rental car and headed up I-70 as snow began to lightly fall... The further up the highway I got the snow began to come down harder and harder... then I got to the Eisenhower tunnel and the road was completely iced over... I was scared to death...


I finally made it safe up to the resort and settled into my slope side condo. The decor was was pretty outdated but the location (steps from the lifts) was amazing...

I woke up in the morning ready for a great day! As I rode up the first lift I could see the cute little village down below...

The snow was amazing... so fluffy, smooth, and well groomed; not one patch of ice... such a contrast to the so cal resorts...

The morning sky was blue, the air was fresh and piny...

As the afternoon wore on the clouds rolled in and a light snow began to fall... it was just amazing to ski on the fresh snow...

I ended up getting close to 20 runs in and chilling my sore legs in the jacuzzi afterwards... it was a great day...
