With some difficulty, these pictures were downloaded from Peter's Picasa album and then posted here courtesy of a blogger button... I'm still learning but it certainly is a whole lot easier if you use photos from your own camera.

I'm glad I had my faux rabbit hat on that day. It wasn't all that cold but it certainly is nice on your ears.

Those hands look cold. There's a certain adventure that goes along with skiing with Peter. He really likes to navigate those trees.


(Written after our ski day in Keystone - March 14th, 2010)
My ninth day of the ski season was indeed special. I had with me, Peter (the original "Reed-ski"), Kristin and Sky. We were on the road by 6:40 and avoided most of the traffic on the way up to Keystone. We debated about going to Vail, but in the end, we didn't want that kind of pressure and cost. It was a snowy drive over Loveland Pass and we even had a white-out which was exciting. The gondola was closed due to high winds and so we had to take the chair to the top. We skied off the back side and I christened my new skis down Mozart on our way to the way, way back. At the top of each peak, it got really windy which made us appreciate why they closed the gondola. No crowds made for run after run. After a run in the Outback, Sky and Kristin went to the Outpost for a break. Pete and I skied a while longer and I took him into his favorite place; the woods. These woods had moguls and at times, it got pretty steep. Not really open glade skiing. We met up with Sky and Kristin at the Outpost. A few more runs and a really long one down the front side wore us out and we were off and driving by 1:30. An accident on I-70 only slowed us down for about 20 minutes, so we got to Idaho Springs in time for a late lunch. It was a great day of skiing and I hope they return next season!
