My last day in Vail was simply powderlicious. It snowed lightly yesterday and all day today to make the conditions on the mountain so much fun. We explored more of the backside, shooshed through trees, and some of the guys jumped some small cliffs. I even had enough courage to do some of my own little jumps and hops. I also experienced being buried in powder. I was following Johnny through some trees and got stuck. The snow was thigh-high and the only thing keeping me from sinking in further and drowning was a fallen branch sticking out of the snow. It was an awesome day in the Colorado snow and truly made up for the disappointing day we had on Friday.

Once we got back to the condo, we went to the backyard where there was a huge pillow of snow that was about thigh-high. After doing backflips and faceplants into the snow, we decided to build snow forts and had a good old-fashioned snowball fight. We ended up soaked to the bone and exhausted but had so much fun. What a great end to our Vail weekend.

If you were looking for the Question of the Day today, I apologize.  I haven’t had internet access for the past 24 hours.  We flew into Vail yesterday afternoon and had our first day on the slopes today.  I must say that with all the hype of “Colorado powder”, I was sorely disappointed.  There were some nice spots but overall the base was not great.  However, we still had a good time.  The runs are super long and the mountain is gigantic.  The temps were very managable and we even got about two seconds of flurries in the afternoon.
