Snowmass

The weather was cold, but sunny today high in the Rocky Mountains.  Vicki and I have been coming to this ski resort for more than thirty years. It is a vast place with five separate areas within it. Today we skied Campground trail, a two mile run down the backside of the mountain.  The scenery surrounding the trail is outstanding, and I never tire of running it. After that we took lifts to the Big Burn, a vast meadow like area that is open. A fire destroyed all the trees on the Burn many years ago. After lunch we took the new High Alpine lift to ski Upper Green Cabin, one of my favorite trails. Unfortunately the snow was skied off the steep sections, and the run was difficult. All in all it was a good day.
