Steamboat...again

December 27, 2018
Steamboat Springs, Colorado

Got up at 6:30 today--a much more civilized hour than 3:30 (December 24) or 5:00 (December 26). It was pretty cold, but we got out early (a little after 8).  Dylan drove to the area.

The necessities of life at a ski area...googles and coffee























 It was a little grey heading down Highway 40 to the base.


















Kayla hooked us up with parking spot at The Lodge.  One of her side hustles is as a dispatcher.  We went inside and met her friend Mary and put our boots on.  Very civilized.  We then hopped the shuttle which took us directly to Gondola Square.

 Hopping the shuttle.



















 Dylan up to his typical shenanigans.


















It was pretty cold so we went into the Four Points lodge around 10:30. Kayla had a cheese bagel with butter. Dylan and I had a cheese bagel with jalapeno cream cheese spread and a beer.


















The view from Four Points lodge.  Frosty.

















The classic pose under the gondola at the top of Heavenly Daze.























We took another break and met up with long-time ski buddy Paul.  Kayla is amazed.


















 Isn't that nice?


















Paul hits it on 3 O'clock.


















We went over and had dinner and drinks with Scott and Colleen.  Always fun to hang with the Whiteman's,  Kayla is buds with Mazzie.  Mazzie is a rescue dog from Mountain Pet Rescue.  Kayla found a video of Mazzie's pups.  Mazzie was quite concerned about them and instantly recognized their cries.


















Another early night. This skiing is tiring!
