A-Basin (the guys' last day)

We went to A-Basin to grill out and ski for the last full day of Chris and Brad's trip. I think it was a great decision. We had a good time and mainly screwed around. There was a lot more grillin than skiin'. It was warm and sunny and a great day.

I think this needs no caption.

The Four of us.

grillin'

Too HOT!

Yeah you can ski that.

Goofin' around.

Most of A-Basin.

Hey Thad, remember these?

Keystone with the guys

So here is our day at Keystone, it was pretty warm at Keystone this day but we had a good time regardless.

This is Breck from Keystone.

Vail Continued

Here is some more from our spectacular 2 days at Vail.

Think Co has some elevation?

This is me entering Champagne Glade. There is a lot of powder in the trees.

Brad took some really good pictures of me in the moguls. Thanks Buddy.
Thad, Jenny any comments?

Here is an action shot of Brad.

Here's a good one of Chris at Vail.

And finally, the three of us at Champagne Glade.

Vail with my boys

Well here are the pics from our two days at Vail.

Josh and Chris taking a break. I should have been laying on my other side.

Here's Brad alone in a Cold, Cold World.

China Bowl.

What?

Yup that's me.

Breck at night

We had a lot of memorable nights on the town. I just want to bring up two things. First, I'm proud of Brad for hitting on our waitress. It's cool to be the engaged one and not have the peer pressure on that stuff. And second, I'm not going to pick on *someone* about Tuaca. So now, what happens in Breckenridge, stays in Breckenridge.

Breckenridge

We all moved the party to Breckenridge on Monday. It was a great base of operations. Breck has a good scene for a ski town and is right in the middle of all the slopes we were going to hit. We tore that place up.

These are on the mountain.

Los tres amigos.

A-Basin first day

We went to A-Basin on Sunday for an introduction into Colorado skiing. I figured that the smaller mountain would be a good warm up for the boys since they were new to the altitude. It turned out to be a good decision.

This is Chris catching his breath up at the top. It was really windy and cold up top that day.

Brad and Chris come for a visit.

Chris and Brad came to visit from February 17th through the 27th. I had a really rough week before they got out here. But as soon as I went on vacation, it was all ok. I had a really great time with them. We have a lot of good memories from this trip. Hopefully, it will happen again next year. I'm probably going to have to post several posts for
