Skiing

The skiing in Breckenridge was great this weekend. On Saturday the powder snow was deep and soft. It snowed all morning and was a bit on the wet side. We end the day in the hot tub at the Village where I own a condo. Our cabin is six miles south of Breckenridge so we drive to the Village and valet park. The condo is a short walk to the Silver Queen lift. The snow on Sunday was packed powder. We left early as the roads were snowy in places and the traffic gets heavy later in the day. Denver was foggy, snowy and cold as it is today. The National Stock Show ended on Sunday which is when the Holiday lights officially turn off in Denver. So our lights are off and will come down when it is warm enough to get outside. Dinner tonight was a simple Ouef de la Tripe which is onions and hard boiled eggs in a cream sauce. Mark made orange pecan yellow carrots to go with the main dish. The meal was good although very yellow. We have the meals planned for our week in the mountains which starts on Friday. My nephew Zac is coming to ski with us early in the week and our friends Chris and Pat will join us at the end of the week. I talked with our First Lady Jeannie Ritter today about her experience in DC at the inauguration. She said it was so moving to see so many people at the mall. She said it was uplifting and cold.
