Short blog entry today as I need to get packed for exodus to Telluride tomorrow.
Day 10 dawned a beautiful blue bird day. We breakfasted early, loaded up the car and hit the road to Breckenridge. It was the last ski day for team Breck so we decided to hang out with them.
Did lots of filming on the drive across Vail Pass, but still haven't figured out how to load video onto my Mac. :-(
The day started chilly but warmed up rapidly and became quite hot. A spring day in January. The skiing was great.
Being Australia day I was interested to see how celebrations in Colorado compare to those in Niseko. I'm happy to report that they were far more subdued. I saw one guy skiing around with an Ozzie flag draped across his shoulders. Saw a few girls skiing around in shorts and singlets, but they turned out to be Americans who were just feeling the heat. It was a very warm day.
We skied until 4pm and then enjoyed a few apres ski beers at the Maggie - a restaurant and bar at the base of Peak 9 that has a massive deck that catches the late afternoon sun.
Bid Team Breck farewell and hit the road back to Vail. Last minute souvenir shopping in Vail Village, and then dinner at a Mexican restaurant called Los Amigos.
Early start for Telluride tomorrow.
