So we are now about 2 thirds through our trip and it is the coldest weather we have had today. 9 degrees Fahrenheit! Yikes that is Brrrrrr bone chilling cold when you are flying down the mountain in the wind.
Don't let the sun fool you it's ridiculous cold.
It was busy on the mountain today because it's Sunday and we had a couple of inches of snow yesterday which bought out all the punters.... Red seems to be a popular ski jacket colour :)
Bad selfie time.... I didn't get the black helmet and jacket memo. :)
The topography is so pretty up here in the high desert.
Got to love an empty run. I guess it's getting too cold to stay out. Apparently there is another storm coming through tonight so we are all doing a snow dance.
And here comes the storm! :)
I tried to take some photos during the 20 minute blizzard we had yesterday but it is just way too cold to open your jacket, take your mitten off and get your phone out for a photo opportunity.... just sayin' ... ;)
This afternoon I'm taking pictures of all my Michael's purchases. I shall update you on that little excursion next post. :D
Glad you're having a good time! Looking forward to more pictures!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila, I'm having a fab time. I'll try to post more pics this week.
DeleteMan time flies! What a beautiful place with the contrast of desert, snow and trees. I am a sucker for a good log cabin, too!
ReplyDeleteI hope the last third of your vacay is padded with the best powder for fun skiing! Can't wait to see what look your virgin trip to Michael's produced! :))
I know! Slightly sad that it's almost over. Not looking forward to going back to work. I have so many things I want to do and see and working is just getting in the way.. lol
DeleteHello Sam,
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a great trip. Those pictures are beautiful!
Big hug
Giac
Thank you Giac!
DeleteIt looks wonderful there, thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It is beautiful.
DeleteIt looks so beautiful. And like it could actually be fun. Living in sunny South Africa, where it never snows, my only experience of snow was a misguided trip climbing Chimborazo (which is higher than Everest) three days after arriving in Equador. Nearly died of breathlessness, and hated the cold. If I ever develop a yearning to see snow again, I'm joining your party.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the Michaels finds!
Oh no! I hope that trip didn't turn you off snow for life! I understand where you are coming from as I live in Sunny Queensland where it never snows. :D My husband is American though and this is his sport. I learned to ski when we married so we would have a hobby in common and now I love it. Sometimes the cold is too much for my thin Queensland blood though. :)
DeleteGreat post yet I was thinking about whether you could compose a litte more on this subject? I"d be exceptionally grateful in the event that you could expound a tad bit further. Value it! website
