The Inn At Beaver Creek

... bodumkanna att ta med. Gosh vilka i-landsproblem jag har.

Kom sen hem till ett hus fullt av smutstvätt, glömda läxor och tomt kylskåp, så här finns helt klart massor vardag mellan fantastisk skidåkning, om nu någon trodde nått annat...

... rlden" när hon upptäcker hur bra det går.


På eftermiddagen hade vi möte med Team Breck och försökte förstå hur programmet, träningen och racen fungerar här. Vi forstod inte så mycket men bestämde oss för att det ordnar sig. Inte helt likt varken mig eller Ola, men en ganska skön inställning just nu.

Vid halv sex-tiden var det hemfärd och vi bestämde oss för att skippa en mysig middag på nån kvarterskrog i Breck, ja, med tre trötta ...

... behind tomorrow and get back to van living. We are heading into Boulder in the morning to do some exploring and hit the first brewery in Colorado, for our stately brewery visit. From there were going to drive to northern Colorado and camp it up and at one of trusty KOA's making us that much closer to South Dakota.

Till next time,

... lunch. After we ate we took in a few shops and then hopped back on the bikes again so that we'd be back in time to return them to the rental company. But....once again we got stuck in a hail storm and had to take cover under a tree.

This was my favorite activity on the trip, and the weather just added to the excitement and we will always look back on it and laugh!

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.

... Restaurant,a charming victorian style restaurant with affordable pricing, in the historic Delaware Hotel. We finished up the sight seeing at the National Mining Hall of Fame & Museum and met back up with the shuttle at 3:00pm to return to Vail.Overall, it was a pleasant day...but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to visit Leadville...

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!

WOW...Is all I can say, we have moved into the house in Beaver Creek. To say this is 5 stars would be an understatement. The bloody house is massive 7 bedrooms/8 bathrooms, a media room, gym, 4 steam rooms, 2 Jacuzzis, a hot tub and a flat screen and DVD player in every room imaginable. Oh did I forget the black BMW truck and Silver Dodge Durango in the garage...oh and did I forget the wine racks stocked with wine, 3 fridges filled with Stella and it is all part of ...

While I'm definitely fired up to head out into the world...a pretty good sized part of me is sad to leave the little community I've created here in Boulder. Some reasons why: 1) fun (and cute) friends 2) fun (and cute) friends - see above - make me goodbye cakes with Brad Pitt on them. Tough to beat.

... a couple of runs on his own. Took 1-1/4 hours to drive to Beaver Creek as roads were icy. Staying at an apartment called Park Plaza right on the slopes and in the heart of the village by the ice skating rink. Went out with Lara and Greg, Mark and Leigh for pizza.
