Winter Park

I went to Winter Park this weekend. We went tubing in the afternoon. It was a lot of fun. You really go flying down the hill. It's the best to go on your stomach and to hang on to each other's tubes so that you go down the hill with somebody else. Click on the picture on the right to see a larger version. Notice how small the people look - that's because the hill really is that long and steep.
Kerri and Travis drove up on Saturday but missed out on the tubing. We all went skiing on Sunday. Unfortunately it hasn't snowed in awhile and has been very warm - in the 40's during the day. The runs were iced over and then slushy in some areas. Snowboarding is really difficult in those conditions. We ended up on the worst types of runs - long, narrow, flat roads. Kerri and I did about 1.5 runs and called it a day.
It really needs to get cold again and snow heavily. This is the type of skiing you would expect in early April but not early March. It's hard to believe the ski season is coming to a close.
