At the top of the 1st ski lift, looking west. |
The Rockies! Most snow was melted but there was still some piled along the road. |
Lots of twists and turns on those mountain roads. |
View from our 3rd floor Quality In room looking SW. |
2 gondolas passing each other over the road |
On the way to the ski area, passing Dillon Reservoir |
Snow fort at the top of the top. |
Only 3 of the many, many trails. |
We took another gondola up to another level. Elevation is over 11,000 feet above sea level |
We were waiting for the boys to finish a run and these people were next to us. It was her birthday and they buried the champagne in the snow to have it with lunch. What a neat idea. |
We ate at the Summit House. This lunch cost $49.00. $8.50 for each slice and $4.80 for each soda. |
Across the way to the SW is Breckenridge. I counted over 30 trails. |
View from the gondola on the way down. |
I said to Sean that looks like a paint brush smeared the snow and he said no it was the results of 2 avalanches. |
And the precious boy in all his gear after a full day of clear mountain air, snow, family & skiing!!!! |
although I hate cold weather, I do want to experience snow one day, otherwise I just have to contend with the fridge ice ;)
