Skiing at Breck!

So, not much truly exciting has been taking place recently besides paling around with Kristen. Until yesterday, that is!

My first visit to Breckenridge was on a trip with some fellow Clara Vista workers back in the mid-90s. The first day was blech -- snowy, cold, and zero visibility. The next day was at Vail, with perfect weather and skiing. However, the altitude and dryness kicked my ass and I didn't ski the last day back at Breck.

My next visit to Breck was awesome. While I was doing some consulting work in Colorado Springs a few years ago, Mike and I accidentally met up with Mitchell and Sue and had an one of my best days of skiing.

Yesterday was a great, first day of the ski season for me. So far this season Breckenridge appears to have the most snow of the Colorado ski resorts, plus it is a little farther away so the crowds were non-existent. Most of the double diamonds were closed, so I wasn't tempted to risk injury. The few difficult runs I did reminded me how much my legs muscles have atrophied. What I love about Breck is the plethora of long, intermediate runs where you can go fast and work on technique.

Of course, the views from Breckenridge are quite amazing.
