Hyatt Main Street Station Breckenridge

... r tur en slant till ett välgörande ändamål. Minns fn inte till vad.

Vi tyckte skidåkningen var helt ok, men många Coloradobor tyckte det var sådär. De vill ha riktig snö och puder och den kommer efter nyår! Trots det vill vi påstå att det var fullt i backen!

Resten av veckan bestod av skidåkning, bad i hot tubs, monopol, och halvok mat. Märta tränade med Breck's skiteam och hade en riktigt bra dag (tills ...

... blir det ju inte alltid så mysigt som man vill. Tog en schsysst burgare på Burger King halvvägs hemma.

Nu tvättar vi underställen, för på onsdag åker vi upp till Breckenridge igen för en långweekend. Barnen har Thanksgiving-lov och om man inte äter kalkonmiddag med tillbehör med släkten så ska man umgås med sin närmsta familj, så det sista tänkte vi göra. Då kanske ni får veta mer om de andra skidorterna runt omkring, Key Stone och Vail. Vi får se!

... 500ft. We were kinda looking forward to going and spending some time in Vail, which was the town right before we started that climb. We decided that we'd save that visit for another time, didn't want to put "Charlie" through that pain again....

We arrived in Copper Mountain Resort area around 1:30 and did a little walking around. We soon realized that this town ...

... 8230;the streets chocked full of cowboys, miners and hookers all boozin it up at the saloon and all that! Black Hawk had the old feel but the buildings were pretty much all renovated/updated and there were lots more brand new buildings. So much for people not having any money and the economy being in shambles…not here! The ca$hinos all looked pretty busy!

We then headed to Aunt Bern’s friend Sue’s house in Denver for dinner. She ...

... this point that I informed Deb if she didn’t wait for me to rest I was going to stab her in the Achilles tendon with my trekking pole. Of course we made it and basked in our accomplishment of summiting what is one of Mother Nature’s finest works. So we start our decent and make our way to the truck, of course its one long mother of a hike down. Going down is sometimes harder than the ascent because different muscles are being used and your toes have a ...

... br>down we passed lakes, waterfalls and had the most gorgeous scenery of snow-capped mountains. The first 10 miles were on a paved path where there was no motor vehicle traffic. The last 8 were a combination of road & the Gore Creek Path. If you do not have a free shuttle or driver to the top you can set up a tour with Charter Sports for $45.

To add excitement to ...

We spent the rest of the afternoon/evening exploring the shops in the Vail Village-which is an adorable German architecture looking resort town. We had dinner at Up The Creek
which is more of an "up-scale" restaurant. It was a little harder to find as it was set off of the main road directly on the creek.

I'm not the most adventuresome eater, so there were limited items on the ...

This year we skied for two weeks and both spring skiing and some good snow. We skied Breckenridge, Keystone, Vail, and Arapahoe Basin. One day Peter and Ron took the day off and went fly fishing with a guide in Silverthorne. It was cold and they caught one fish but they still had a good time. Mike and Laurie joined us for a couple of days which was great!

... Peak 9. We started on the Quicksilver lift which was right by our complex. Lots of wide open greens (Green runs = beginner, Blues = intermediate) on nicely sloped hills - not many flats. Here is a great Trail Map so you can see what I'm talking about (as if you care). No crowds, packed powder, not too cold - it was great. Once we were thoroughly pooped we retired to the condo with the ...

... ski for the first time...that was humorous. I was their teacher alot of the time, but we never really got past just pointing your skis straight and bombing down the hill. HAHA! Oh well, we all had fun. Though at one point I was annoyed because everyone took too long while night skiing, so I lapped them :).
