Riverbend Lodge - Ski-In Ski-Out! Rq Breckenridge

... vinna mot killarna tills slutet när vi av ett litet litet misstag fick i 8:an!

På torsdagen som var självaste Thanksgiving blev vi (liksom alla andra i byn) inbjudna till brandstationen där kommunens invånare bjöd på den klassiska måltiden. Personalen bestod av frivilliga från kyrkan, banken och andra ställen. Gästerna var byns personal, invånare och turister som vi. Precis som att någon donerat maten donerade vi i ...

... julklapp!

Åkte iväg klockan 0630 på lordagsmorgonen, först till bagelrian och lämnade den 0640 med bilen full av varm choklad, kaffetermos, äggmackor (ja, alla börjar tröttna), ett dussin bagels, säsongens första pepparkakor och ett kilo äpplen. Bagagen var full av skidor, pjäxor och hjälmar. Vi ska testa hur länge det går utan takbox, vet inte varför men så har det blivit. Och så klart, en sådär 10 DVD-filmer, och spanarna och sommarpratarna p ...

... ghostly after labor day weekend. Nic and I would like to throw a huge THANK YOU! out to Trish and Moe who have lent us their condo for a few days. We are very much enjoying it. It's a bit more roomier than the van, and has ESPN which has made Nic a very happy man.

We don't want to get used to being indoors, so we're pretty sure that we are going to leave this life of ...

... first full day was awesome! This area is so damn pretty and I can see why anyone would fall in love with it. I told Dad, “If this place had palm trees, a beach, and it never snowed, I would definitely move here!” Everything that I’ve seen so far in the city and up the mountains has been kept up really well and all of the people I’ve encountered so far have been very friendly. No rude *******s yet, but then again, I still have a full week to go!

... are short lived as I become one with her 70’s retro green couch. So I’m not sure what these girls are drinking but if Squeaky Fromme and C Manson started a 14er commune these girls would have been disciples, they have drank from the hiking well and I really don’t think we can cure them without shock treatment and a 12 step program, that being said I would hike with these wonderful women anytime I just will have to adjust the shock collar so we can park closer.

... we parked our bikes and took shelter. Once it settled down we continued on our ride and shortly reached the Gore Creek Path.

This whole path rode us by beautifully gorgeous homes owned by the rich and famous...sadly we didn't have any celebrity sightings because that would have been fun! The path drops you off right in the Vail Village where we stopped for a ...

... that wetted my palatte, however the rest of the group were salivating at the selection of seafood. My options came down to either a Cobb Salad or an Asian Chicken Salad. I was leaning towards the Cobb, mainly due to my relatively new obsession with Avocados, however my husband Curt convinced me to do the Asian. It was good...but I seriously think I would have enjoyed the avacados more!

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!

... the Christmas lights up in town tonight, we may go join them later if we feel up to it. The town is very pretty, covered in snow and mostly old style buildings, some of our favorite shops are the crepe cart (we scored a free one there the other night), sports authority (lots of cool sports gear, cheap) ohhhh Costco is my favorite so far but we have to go to Denver to go there....when ...
