Michigan in my rear view mirror!

I know you're going to call me a tease, and perhaps you're correct

I left Michigan at 3 PM on Wednesday for a road trip to Colorado. Keystone, Copper, Winter Park, and Abasin are among the resorts on my list.......Its 10 - ish AM (home time) 8 ish Colorado time and we're within 45 minutes of my SIL's house, which is 20 min from skiing!

May this be the trip report that you all drool over!
Pics to follow!

OMG, it just clicked... you're there for the Summit, aren't you? DUH!!!! I really wish I could be there right now.

Nope, the summit is next month.
C'mon Carrie, the Diva day at Okemo is on Monday, eh?

severine · Jan 29, 2009

I fixed it but you caught me before I did... I have no idea what month it is.

Are you going to the Summit, too? You're my hero!!!!

I had planned on going to the diva summit and still hope to make it for part of it.

I have bigger plans at the end of March at Big Sky!!!

Keystone was our first stop on the Colorado tour, since Eldora was closed for wind hold on Thursday.
We were greeted with beautiful groomers for our warm up runs on the front side, but were pleasantly surprised that the outback had some freshies!!
We did a little hike to skiing and found the real stashes in the North Bowl.......
(didn't take a lot of pics, but you'll get the idea with a few)
Robyn with a reason to smile!

Robyn and Pinto, Lovin the trees with the freshies!

More to come

Sorry for the delay, but I was having too much fun and didn't take much time to post TR's

We didn't take many pics of skiing because we rarely stopped from the amazing skiing, but here are a few that may interest you!

Copper Mt, we met up with UGASkiDawg and his kids. Severine may recognize him as the guy who owns the condo where we stayed last may.
His daughter Miss O has Type 1 Diabetes, and she gets out there with her little sister Alex almost every day.
O is 6, A is 4!!!

I wish I had gotten video of these kid s and their parallel turns!!!
Here is Lil O challenging Mr TC to a race.
IIRC, she beat him

The pictures that will interest the guys of AZ most, Outhouse at Mary Jane!
To answer your question, Yes I did ski it, and surprisingly enough I did okay.

Pinto in the glades at Keystone

I was going to take an easy groomer to cool down on our last run of the vacation, but there was a tasty section of easy bumps that were too delicious to pass up.
Life is Good!!!

You? Take an easy groomer? NEVER!!!! :lol:

Looks like you had a fantastic trip!

Danaxxmiller · Feb 3, 2009

After 4 solid days of skiing 8:30 to 4:00, my legs were telling me to take the groomer, but my will said, Mmmmmmm, moguls!

The Glades were one of many highlights of the trip. I have to say, though, that there were many photo opportunities missed because we were having so much fun skiing that the camera didn't come out.

What a great trip!
