Bodacious

Sunday, February 22, 2009 -- we have found heaven. Sunny, very faint breeze...and awesome boarding.

Day 1 on the Slopes

Our first day on the slopes was a success. The day started calm and clear as we explored around the base. As we moved toward the Pioneer lift, the wind picked up and clouds moved in. We headed back toward the base for lunch, Tate narrowly avoided a skier and wound up on a nice steep slope, detouring him from us for 45 minutes.

After lunch, the winds slowed the Zephyr lift, but we eventually made it up to Mary Jane where we found sheltered runs, powder, and fewer people. We made a few runs on some nice blues, and made our way back to the base.

For dinner, we tried to walk up to the Moffat Station Brewery and Restaurant, but our green ways were thwarted, so we hoped in the car and eventually made it. We enjoyed a few pitchers of Hells Half Acre Lager spread throughout appetizers, salad bar, and steak (then Laura ordered cake). We waddled back to the car, zipped home, and finished with a relaxing adventure in the hot tub as the wind and snow pelted the patio -- a very wintry scene indeed.
