I had the opportunity to go skiing this past weekend with a group of friends from church. I hadn’t expected to get to ski this year and was thrilled at the chance to go along. We went to Breckenridge, Colorado and stayed in a ski-in/ski-out condo. It was a blast.
The drive out Thursday got interesting west of Denver when we hit a snow storm. The highway was down to one lane of traffic. I was thankful I wasn’t driving. We made it slowly but safely to the condo. Friday morning the weather wasn’t bad. Skied in a lot of powder that day. It takes a lot of effort but it was neat to go down a run with 12 inches of fresh powder and only 2 sets of ski tracks. That was also where I fell 3 times – one of which was a face plant. I had to look around to find the ski that came off – could barely see the binding sticking out of the snow. The afternoon became very overcast with wind gusts that sent snow blowing. The face mask I bought was worth every penny. Yes, that's me and I don't know why I smiled for the picture.

Saturday and Sunday were clear, gorgeous days. Amazing views from the top of the mountain. Sunday was my favorite day of skiing. I skied with a small group that was just my speed. We were hauling it down the blues on Peak 7. It was so much fun.

so envious of your travels -- especially this one!!!
It looks awesome! I've only been there in the summer. That's crazy to see the same spot where we were alpine sliding covered with snow.
FUNFUN! (Oh, I could tell you were smiling!)
