Colorado!


We just got back from our wonderful vacation to Durango! We had so much fun with Jake and Courtney--we were so lucky to be able to go with them! Here are some highlights!

First Day getting ready to hit the slopes....sun is out 40 degrees so beautiful!

At the top. This was seriously one of the prettiest places we have ever been!

Day 2 and 3 LOTS of snow....over 30inches!!!! Have you ever skied in snow that deep? VERY challenging! On the up side, it doesn't hurt when you fall into 30 inches of snow!
I was trying to capture how much snow had fallen, here is a good shot of the firewood shed at our condo building....
Last day....sun is out! Unfortunately the high was only 9 degrees that day! Lots of good skiing!New years eve!New years torch parade (ski patrol skiing down the mountain with lights! pretty neat) and firework show.......great thing was it was at 6:00pm....so we were in bed early!
Driving home.....the car reports negative 23 degrees as we are leaving Colorado!!! That is COLD for anyone wondering! We had such a wonderful time and no one was injured! Not bad for taking a 10 year break from skiing! Lets hope it is not another 10 years before we are able to go again!
