Weekend Ski Trip to Colorado

In and around Colorado, United States

We went to Colorado Jan 1 - Jan 4 for a ski trip to Summit County.  We stayed in Frisco in a rented condo and skied at Copper Mountain on Jan 2 and Breckenridge on Jan 3.

We left early on New Years day for Denver.  At the airport, we were delayed an hour, because the pilots didn't show up.  The airline at first tried to blame it on the fog, but we could hear other planes taking off and coming in, so this news didn't sit well with everyone.  Finally, the staff said there was a mix up in the scheduling and the pilots were told to report at a different time.  When the pilots showed up, they were applauded...only because we all wanted to leave.

The weather in Colorado was quite cold that weekend.  It did snow on Saturday while we skied at Breckenridge.

We had Mike's brother and a friend of his stay with us as well as a friend of mine and 2 of her friends.  We also had some other friends that stayed somewhere else, but had dinner with us at the condo.  On Friday night, we made spaghetti and had a salad and garlic bread.  On Saturday, we started chili in a crockpot before we left to ski and had that for dinner when we came back.

Before coming back home, we went to Boulder to visit and hang out.
