plus 10 days at Vail and Beaver Creek

That is correct and even a few days in Utah possibly!

BTW We are moving to Colorado Springs and the path to fun will be up route 24 about 2 hours. My Start Date is April 11th. My last day at work here is funny enough April 1st!

One great thing about Colorado that is rarely mentioned is that after it snows or rains, the sun comes out and stays out until the next storm. You don't get those multi-day periods without seeing the sun like you get in the northeast.

Co Springs pops up a lot on "best places to live" lists. we're taking daughter to look at a couple of schools in CO next month and also looking at potential places to move to around the springs.

It is a nice area IMO. Very spread out! Nice view of Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods real close. We will the working local tourist for a while!

You were talking about this possibility at the Summit, it's awesome that it's working out! It was cool hanging out with you guys at the Summit, I hope to see you at future summits, though I could certainly understand not wanting to fly east for skiing! If not then maybe I'll make it out to CO one of these days!

Been here 4 years now and love it. Sure you will too. Haven't skied with you yet but I'm sure we'll get a chance to meet up. I usually call Breckenridge home.

One other thing that's great about the state is that on an average day (and average year), temps are somewhere in the high teens to low 20's. While the temps do occasionally drop into the single digits and negatives, it's pretty infrequent.

Hope you enjoy it!
