MPHS Colorado Ski Gathering 09

We are visiting in Breckenridge Colorado.  Viva is lodging us all.  John Kalmer and Carole Hanna Deardorff drove from Denver through tough snow storm on Monday morning but soon as they climbed above the clouds, the roads cleared and the mountains were waiting.  Viva and I and Carole enjoyed the trails John Kalmer navigated for us in Vail.  He has been skiing the Vail mountains since 1978.  Although he belonged on slopes far more challenging than those he had for us, he certainly had his hands full keeping us out of trouble.  

We had a great day on Tuesday.  The snow that impeded our drive on Monday created a fantastic powder blanket for us on ski on Tuesday.  The sun shined long enough for us to warm. The trees were frosted top to bottom and glistened in the sunlight.  Absolutely beautiful.  NONE OF US HAD CAMERAS.  (We will try to fix that Wednesday).
