Ski Trip Cont'd

Some more photos:

This view is from Montezuma Bowl, looking out to the south from one of the Blue runs that Luke and I liked.

This is a picture of the trail map of Montezuma Bowl.  The blue run is right down the middle of this map.  I have some other pictures below this that correspond to the double blacks on the left side of this map.

This is a picture of the ridge of Montezuma Bowl looking down at some of the double blacks.  This is the first time in my career of skiing that I have ever had to take my skies of and hike to the ski slope.  It was exciting! Pretty cool view I thought.

Looking down into the bowl.

The hiking paid off.  I was able to get some views of mountains off in the distance that I couldn't see from anywhere else on the resort.  (The ski resort off in the distance is Breckenridge)

All in all it was a great trip.  Arapahoe Basin was a fabulous resort!

Ski Jump

I tried to work on my jumping ability this week.  I had a good time.  Here is a video Luke was able to get of me going off one of the bigger jumps I did today (I'm surprised I didn't bust it:)

Not quite as good as the professionals on TV, but it's a start.  (I'm looking forward to watching the winter olympics next year already!)

Ski Trip Day 1

This was a sight for sore eyes after we had been on the road for 11 hours or so!  Those of you who have driven through Kansas, know what I mean.

However, Kansas has added some fun scenery.  I like the giant windmills.

So far the trip is going great.  No injuries to speak of, just a lot of sore muscles:)  Here a few of the pictures we taken:  This first one is a view off in the distance from the living room of the Condo.

This next one is taken from one of the lifts going up the mountain.  This is Luke and I's favorite area to ski in because it is all above the tree line.

The ski resort (Arapahoe Basin) has a front and back side you can ski on.  This is a view from the very top of the mountain looking down the back side of the resort (South).  Just spectacular!

This view is also from the top of the mountain, but it is looking to the west.  It is great to be in the Rockies, wonderful creation in every direction.

Thanks for viewing.  Maybe there'll be more to come...
