Almost There

Woke up Monday but couldn't get the motivation to pedal. Little too cold so did the crossword and drank too much coffee. Finished that task and then decided on a hike for the day. Tanner (the roommate) decided to come too so we loaded up and headed south towards Breckenridge. If anyone remembers reading about my overnights at the Continental Cabin last year, this was the same hike. Well sort of, the gate at the main lot was open.
So we drove up until we couldn't go any further. This was my first real off-road experience with the new truck, way fun. Totally snow covered roads and finally we came to a pitch that we just couldn't make it up, we are talking steep and snowy.

Got out and did the rest of it on foot. We reached the cabin, still needs some repair but looks like someone brought things up to block the drafty windows up for the winter.

Tanner fell in the stream just before this, poor guy was wet and didn't smell to nice afterwards.

Views like this puts a lot into perspective, mostly the insignificance of some things.

Well Tuesday brought ALOT of work on the hill. Had an employee appreciation dinner at 5:30 and the Mountain (well 1 run) was only open to employees. One of the first to eat which meant I was all alone on the ski done. Don't know if I can put into words the feeling on dropping a knee into perfect turns on freshly groomed snow in the dark with out a sound around. I guess one could compare this to centering ones Chi, that's the way it felt walking through the village at least.

Tubing Hill opens tomorrow, oh dear...
