Winter Park, Colorado
Flew out to Colorado for a holiday surprise visit. It was Diane's idea. Christmas at the Parker's. Had both our kiddies there.
Headed out for Winter Park at 5:30am on the 26th. One year ago today. Spencer's Butte with Dylan and the girls.
We arrived around 7:45 - plenty of time to get ready and purchase a ticket. Conditions were early season, cold and cloudy. The lot at Challenger.
Beer me!
The crew hits Mary Jane.
Dylan floats on.
The crew stops for cheezy fries. From left: Quinn, Parker, Brooke, and Cathrine.
The crew left around 1; Dylan and I kept at it. We met Dan Hedrick who showed us around a bit after he staked a "Slow" sign at the entrance to Dilly Dally Alley. We cut over from Vasquez to Eagle Wind and did a run over there. Fun terrain, but the snow was thin. We ventured beyond the rope for a bit, at least until I hit a big buried rock that flipped me. We called it about 2:30 and headed for Steamboat.
Scott Whiteman had some $25 lift vouchers for us--a lifesaver since tickets at Steamboat retail for $179 a day this week. Insane. Scott and Colleen got a new pup named Mazzie. She's a little sweetheart.
We then went home where Kayla cooked us pasta primavera which was very tasty.
