I'm sorry of this is too lazy but here is the TR as posted on SkiDiva.......Enjoy!
Can you believe it?
We have Abasin bonus pass' and had not used them at all this season!
So, Mr SH and one of his friends decided to load up and drive west for a long weekend and see if we could get our money's worth out of our pass' ........and we did!
Not many pics because the snow has been too good to stop and take pictures...

Day One - Breckenridge
Started out with beautiful chalky groomers that were sooooooooo nice!

Then the snow rolled in while we were having lunch and that's when I stopped taking pictures and started whoo hoo'ing

Thus concludes Day one, with a spent body and a silly grin:becky:

Powder day at Vail.
We'd never been to Vail and we decided a powder day was a great excuse to hit it and follow some Bears around who knew their way...
Again, not may pics but tons of skiing and .......well.......more whoo hoo's

...3 inches of fresh, bluebird skies and huge grins!!!
Met up with Rachel, Robyn and one of Robyn's friends, perfect size group for a day of hitting everything you can......(ooof, never made it to pali, eh?)

We started out with some trees and the gully on the front side because it seemed that it was relatively abandoned and we got fresh tracks in the intermediate trees for 3-4 or 5 runs(can't remember)
Robyn, rocking her pig tail style...

Mr SH being Mr SH (we noted that he is not our fashion compass)

After using the trees on the front to their potential, we hit East Wall, which was sweeeeeeet, but again, no pics...sorry
After lunch, it was time to hit Montezuma bowl, which was really nice. A touch icy on the top but mostly fun fun fun in the trees to skiers right of the chair........nice snow all afternoon on the shady side, eh?
again, no pics :(
But then, Rachel and I hit the cornice.....
Dang that girl rocks...

Never made it to palli but we had fun fun fun......
Abasin always delivers big grins for me.

Boy-o-boy, my life is rough......
BlueBird Skies, great friends........aaagain.
Its a tough job but someone has to do it. :becky:

Fortunately, I had a few friends to help me with the chore of embracing the day....

Thanks for reading....
I love my road trips to Colorado, which are usually spontaneous. Sometimes its great to wait until you see a good weather pattern coming through and load up the Yak!
