I know it's only October, but Denver is buzzing in anticipation of ski season. Around the office there is talk of the cost of purchasing passes, weekends in the mountains, new skiis, boots, boards, jackets, pants, how many inches the mountains are getting. Everytime the clouds gather in the west, the excitement grows a little more. It's snowing in the mountains! When I first moved to Denver I did not understand what was so great about skiing. It's cold, it's kind of scary, it takes forever to get to the slopes because the traffic is terrible, and the equipment is heavy. After 2 season of learning, falling, whining, I finally get it.
1. The mountains are beautiful.
2. Fresh powder is all it's cracked up to be.
3. It's a healthy weekend activity.
4. Rolling hills on a freshly groomed run=heaven, really.
5. It's not THAT cold if you have the right gear...ok, the top of Breck is cold.
6. Apres ski-beer, bloody mary, pizza, hot tubs.
7. Skiing with friends.
8. Conquering a challenging run.
9. Ski towns-just like the movies.
10. Cabin weekends. This picture is of a late night sledding adventure last winter in Breck.
