Steamboat

Thanks to Emmaus Road and some nice residual benefits of working at a resort, Jan and I enjoyed a fantastic weekend in Steamboat Springs. We took in the sights, had some great fellowship with friends and enjoyed free skiing. A family offered up the house to our group and this was our view to the southeast. Not too shabby!
62" of snow fell Thursday and Friday and we skied Saturday on this...incredible. Waist deep in the middle of groomers and chest deep on the backside bowl. Most amazing ski experience of my life. Period. This picture is mid-mountain where the snow was "decent" compared to the peak area. I've never heard so many "whoo-hoos" going down the mountain. Everyone there was beside themselves over the conditions. Even locals were amazed. Fun times.
