Vail S Mountain Haus

... 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...

Bifogar en massa bilder och det beror inte på att vi vill trötta ut er, men att jag inte lärt mig alla funktioner ännu.

Kramar från oss i vilda västern

... 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 ...

... 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 ...

... 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.

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!

... Luckily, we have the same shoe size and I did not have to rent. So all this time she was teaching me how to ski, she was on a snowboard. And now it was time for us to switch and have her teach me how to snowboard, while on skis. Sarah is very talented. A lot more falling is involved on snowboards. It was not long until my tired and battered body had enough. We loosened our achy muscles by walking through the festively lit Vail ...

With the family, we headed to Vail, Colorado for Christmas! Vail was gorgeous, despite the massive snow everywhere! We enjoyed, skiing, snowshoeing, eating out, and shopping! The family was together, and that was the best part! Can't wait to go again next year!!!

... as so exhausted. After food and a rest went out again in the afternoon. Adam, Kristina and I drove home 5pm – slow and icy on the roads. Brad, Nathan, Mitch and Jaaden stayed for another night.






14/3/06 – Beaver Creek – sunny 40 degrees.

Beautiful day skiing. Paid for Adam, Kristina ...
