This past week was our annual guys' ski trip. This year, however, we were down a guy and plus a GIRL! Ryan sacrificed the annual ski trip for school and Susannah came along with us instead. We missed Ryan but still had a ton of fun like we normally do.
This year we skied Breckenridge two days and Keystone one day. The weather was beautiful everyday- the sky was blue and the sun was shining. The high everyday was about 34 degrees with hardly any wind through out the entire trip. The only downside was they could of had a bit more snow. A couple of runs had dirt piles right in the middle of the run about half way down the mountain. It made the skiing very interesting when we had to stop abruptly and cut across to a different run. Especially when you are 12,000ft up.. you just figure it always has snow.
Now for some pictures:
Night skiing at Keystone was a first for me. Jamie and I stopped to take it all in.
Our view every morning from the condo.
Evan and Jamie sizing up our next descent to the bottom. We're standing at about 12,500ft right now.
Uncle T and Aunt P are so generous to allow us to stay a couple days in their condo. We have stayed there the last two years and love the view and the connivence of how close we are to so many mountains. I do not think we could ask for a better set up!
To finish here are just a few stats of mine from our day at Keystone. I used the the Alpine Replay application on my iPhone that Susannah showed me to document everything I did on the mountain. This app tracks everything from your speed to how many miles you skied and also even how many calories I burned in a day:
I can't wait for next year!
