Check out the awesome snowboarding at Breck on this You Tube video (no, this is not us):
Or skiing at Breck (OK, this is definitely not us):
Marissa cooked some awesome meals with wholesome and natural ingredients she brought with her. |
Amanda's college friend, Brett from Colorado Springs, was in Frisco for the weekend. She came to visit for the afternoon on Sunday. |
We returned Tuesday crossing paths halfway in Moffat, CO with my friend Cathy and her son who were on their way to Breckenridge to spend the rest of the week in the condo.My friend and neighbor, Cathy (in Breckenridge last September), is on the ski patrol at Sandia Ski Resort. |
No, I didn't go on the slopes. Since breaking my leg skiing in Angel Fire, NM in 2000, I've only gone skiing one time since. So, not only am I not in shape, I also had my eye surgery a little more than three weeks ago so I have to be careful to not dislodge the corneal graft. The lift passes were also very expensive: $111 for one day (ouch!).
I hope you're having fun this winter, where ever you are.
it's crazy for anyone middle aged or older to ski if they aren't working out in a gym all the time and in great physical shape
ReplyDeleteor else it's like 'sure, it would be fun to do something where i can fall down at high speeds in a contorted bodily position to risk nearly certain injury, freeze my a** off while doing it, and then spend at least 3 months or more unable to function normally while undergoing frequent unpleasant visits to a physical therapist'
Oooh, Paul, sounds like you've been there! You are correct, of course, so although it's tempting to go into all that beautiful powder, I realize that this body isn't going to do the downhill anymore. Nowadays, snowshoes are my speed.
