Colorado Ski Trip 2006
Well this year I decided to take my yearly Colorado ski trip with my Sister and her friends and invited my girlfriend Victoria to come along!
We left Thursday Feb. 9th on the Amtrak train out of Creston, IA. We arrived at Winter Park Colorado on Friday morning around 11am. We made it to the slopes about 1pm on Friday, and enjoyed a great day on the mountain. Friday night we hit the huge hot tub at the hotel and then went out to dinner at the hotel restaurant.
Saturday we put in a full day of skiing on the beautiful slopes of Winter Park Ski resort. We had an eventful afternoon ... Vic even got to ride a snowmobile! You'll have to ask her about that one! :)
Saturday night was uneventful as we were all exhausted and just ordered pizza in for dinner! We all crashed pretty early Saturday night!
Sunday we awoke and headed out to a gorgeous day ... The temp was wonderful in the upper 30's and no wind ... it was a great day on the mountain ...
we skied to about 1pm and then headed back to the hotel to clean up and get our stuff ready to go back to the train station and head back to home sweet home Iowa!
The Mountains were wonerful and all should experience them at some point in there life! They are one of God's most magnificent creations!
The Amtrak ride was fun and had some interesting moments ... I wouldn't do it every time by any means but it should be done at least once in your ski trips to Colorado life time! just for the experince of it!
well I will leave you know with just a few photos of the trip!
enjoy!
