Skiing and Snowboarding

On Friday, Kevin and I decided to go up to Beaver Creek to go skiing. Kevin's friend/boss Derek got a phenomenal deal at a resort in Beaver Creek so Kevin was going to go spend a night up there, while I had to stay here and work. It turned out that I was able to go with Kevin at the last minute. So we packed our bags, purchased some ski pants, and drove up to Avon, Colorado. We got there around 5pm on Friday evening and ended up just eating dinner and relaxing for the evening. On Saturday, we woke up around 7:30, ate breakfast, and hopped on the Gondola (which left straight from the hotel) to go to the ski lifts. The Beaver Creek area has 24 ski lifts and I can't even tell you how many runs. I stayed on the Green slopes - a whole whopping three before I pooped out - while Kevin was able to go down a few of the Black slopes. We had an incredible day, although I am extremely sore today! We had such a good time that we are even talking about getting passes next year and going more often. Next time I think I will try snowboarding instead of Skiing - my knees were not liking me so much!

Here we are at the top of the mountain - you can't tell, but we actually have skis and snowboards on our feet.
