20th Winter Begins

So my 20th winter begins……

Lots of skiing early, lots of groomers but it is snowing outside as I write this and the holidays folks are just about out of town so things should start ramping up.  I’ve had 30 something days on the snow and so far I haven’t had a day on my own, I’m making up for it with some alone time in the pool (“bubble and breathe”).

My most recent big day skiing was with the Sanborn crew at Beaver Creek and these guys got a run down the Minturn Mile to finish the day off as well…. I think everyone (including myself) was in bed by 10pm that night.

Cody had a few days off work in December so he came up for a few days skiing.  One afternoon I thought I’d get some face time with the Dean so we ducked over to Leadville and took Poly along as well.

I’ve had a couple of days sledding with my golfing mate Andy which has been scary, in a good way though.

And that is just about it for the first post from my 20th winter.
