My friend Kat was gracious to invite us up to her family’s condo in Avon, CO for the weekend. SO, we all piled into the Subaru; one man, three ladies, gear, food, and a dog! Dennis was excited to go boarding, and we girls were equally jazzed about the x-country.
The plan was to have a lovely weekend in the mountains and enjoy the snow. There would be skiing and cozy fireside chats. I was so excited! (more…)
On Sunday, we braved the weather and drove up to Nederland to go “Backcountry” skiing. (more…)
Time for the annual Cross Country Ski and Waffle day, organized by Dan M. I was totally psyched to participate in this tradition. It’s a very simple day; wake up early, head up to the mountains, enjoy waffles & breakfast with some colleagues, then ski! What could be more fun!!! (more…)
On January 2nd, Dennis & I went cross country skiing with Dan F., Marcia, and Mike. The weather was okay, except a little snow blizzard that descended on us for about 30 minutes. We skiied for about 3 hours and went 8 miles. Above is the route & the topo map of our ski. By the way, I love my new Garmin Fortrex!
We went Cross Country Skiing at Snow Mountain Ranch, CO. This was going to be Emma’s 2nd time on skis and Dennis’ 3rd. I was more than excited to get out for the day.
We carpooled with a co-worker of mine, Mike. We met at the Mammoth Park & Ride, in Morrison at o’dark thirty. He drove and we dozed on and off. Then, we stopped in Winter Park at the Rise & Shine for some breakfast. (more…)
