Valentine Getaway

 Our passes this year came with some days at Steamboat. It's been over 30 years since we've been there so we left early on a Monday morning and did the 3.5 hr. drive.  We skiied Monday, Tues, and Wed. morning. It was nice to get away even though the snow wasn't the best.  Gma went out to eat with Stan and Bea, spent a couple of hours with Rachel playing cards, had her favorite Valentine meal with Mere (spaghetti), and went to lunch and bingo with the Seniors.  One place we will return to if we get back there is Mahoghany Ridge Brewery. They have great food and a great happy hour!

Copper Mountain

We've been skiing Copper more often this year and can get there in two hours.  Our friend Per has gone with us a few times.  This dead tree is on one of our favorite runs.  I think it is a bristle cone pine and it's neat how the trunk is all twisted from the wind.  We've been checking out happy hour spots on the way home too.
