First Ski Weekend...

We went in on a condo with some friends again this year and the weekend after Thanksgiving was our first time to check it out. It is close to where we were last year, but we don't have to drive as far up the hill to get there. (Still located close to the outlet mall!)

one of the bedrooms
the livingroom
and the kitchen...all in all it will be a great place for this season! We didn't ski the first day we went up because Sam had some work to do, so instead I read and watched some movies and relaxed...it was GREAT!! Then Dan came and we played some games...going to be a fun ski season!!
We headed out Sunday for our first day and had some great snow since it had snowed quite a bit the night before. Breck seems to always be our top choice, so that's where we went.
Me and Sam on the slopes...you can see the snow still coming down!
After our half day (taking it easy to make sure Sam's knee that he hurt last year is ok) my face was purple...especially my chin...but it didn't show up too well in the photos. Little did we know at the time of this photo that the weekend was going to turn into a little bit longer of a weekend. When we hit 70 from Breck it was so backed up it took us almost 2 hours to get from Breck to Silverthorne, so we decided we'd head back to the condo and hang out there for a while until the roads cleared. Well that they did not do...they got worse. They closed 70 down so we were stuck in the mountains...darn. Dan was too, so we had another fun night of games/tv/football, etc. A great way to start the season!!
