Breckenridge

We headed to Breckenridge on the 4th. We rented a cabin outside of town and spent a few days relaxing in the mountains. Some of us are experienced skiers/snowboarders and a few of us aren't. I am in the inexperienced group. I was pretty nervous to board in Breck. I mean it's the Rockies. Plus Molly is pretty much a pro. Learning how to ski or snowboard as an adult is dumb for several reasons A) Adults don't bounce or bend like kids B) Hopefully the survival-instinct section of your brain is more developed, so moving at a high rate of speed down very slippery, steep terrain littered with trees, shouldn't seem like something smart to do C) I hate doing things I'm not good at.


Anyway, I sucked it up and went for a couple hours on the 5th. Molly and Goldberg had gone all day so by the time I got there in the afternoon, they had no problem staying on the easy trails with me. The 7 of us all went on the 6th....for the whole day. The combination of a couple stops at the bar and the lack of any major falls, made it a successful day on the slopes. We were sore but made it home in one piece.

Dani and Kaleen (beautiful!)

Mol and I on the lift. Notice the sick purple goggles that I borrowed from Molly's mom.



Note - Skiing all day at 9600 feet, then sitting in a hot tub and sipping one glass of wine = drunk for 10 minutes then instant hangover :(
