We spent another weekend up in Breckenridge. We were tempted to stay home because the weather people have been predicting a huge storm to hit Colorado Springs over the weekend. We took the chance they'd be wrong and headed up to the slopes. This entire season, whenever we've gone skiing, Bode would go to ski school, and Ashley and I would ski together. This weekend, Bode informed us he wanted to ski with us. We were both excited and a less-than-enthused about this because while we couldn't wait to ski with Bode, we also knew skiing with Bode would mean a lot of time on the greens. But we figured the sooner we start skiing with him, the better he'll get. And we both agreed sometime in the (near) future, Bode will be a better skier than us, and we will be the ones holding him back.
The weather was decent. The temperature was right around 30, but it was overcast, with intermittent light-to-heavy snow. We skied for the morning, and when we broke for lunch, we were ready to do a little lunch, shopping, and hot-tubbing. We did stop for the obligatory photo on the top of the Quicksilver lift.
We also took a quick break to get some hot tea (for Ashley) and some free Hershey kisses (for Bode). It was warm enough inside for me to snap some photos.
We woke up early this morning, and Ashley spent an hour on the slopes. She said it was freezing but awesome (temperature was closer to 5 today). We then loaded up the car and headed back. Colorado Springs received 12+ inches of snow Saturday night, and it was still snowing slightly, so surprise, surprise, the meteorologists were correct. Fortunately, we made it back without a hitch. I spent an hour shoveling the driveway, and now my back is aching :-) Bode's school has already cancelled classes for tomorrow. Not sure if USAFA will shut down or not. I'm hopeful it will so we can all have a fun snow day. Pleasant week to all.
