Snowmass 2008

We made it!!! It's been a fun weekend of travel and visiting friends and now i am up early, eagerly anticipating the first day of skiing. Sara is already off to her conference. I'll head out at 8:30 when some of the lifts open and ski until about 10 and meet up with Sara.

Before we got here we visited with some friends near Boulder. Sara has two friends out here that she has known since she was young. We visited with their families and had lunch, then we headed over to visit with my Friends Jim, Trisha, and their 3 kids. We saw Jim's family in July of 2006 when they were heading out here from PA. After hours in a car and in a strange place kids tend to be shy. On their own turf the kids were a blast. Plus the twin boys are still light enough to throw around without hurting this old mans back. Jim and Trisha's house is very nice and has an incredible view of the mountains.
Sunday was spent driving out to Snowmass, getting groceries, and checking in. I've got my skis, lift ticket and i am ready to go.
Taz from H'burg moved out here a while back, she works at a bike and ski shop in Carbondale. Sara and i checked out the shop yesterday, we knew Taz wasn't working, but since Sara actually has a conference to attend we figured it was her only chance to check it out. Taz and maybe her boyfriend might make it out to ski on Friday, but i will probably head over to the shop one afternoon for some bike shop therapy after a hard day of skiing.

Here are a few pics of the condo...small...but it will get smaller when my dad gets here tomorrow.
