Thanks for visiting us Troy

Troy is in from Spain for a short visit. He is a Volkswagen mechanic, but maybe he should have been an plane mechanic. His flight from Spain to the states, was delayed 3 days due to mechanical issues. (military transport) But he finally made it to town, and got several days of skiing in. Troy had signed up for the Talons Challenge last week, but with the flight difficulties, he missed the challenge.

We took Troy to Beaver Creek the week after to introduce him to some of the runs we skied in the challenge. We had gotten some snow during the week, so the terrain was completely different than the day of the challenge.

Of course I missed Alex, he skies to fast to take pictures of...

It was a great day, we managed to get the 23k feet that the challenge consists of, but we didn't drag Troy down all the runs...

Karyn took out some Alpines, I'm not sure why she hasn't aplined before, she's really good at it.

Sunday we finished up Troy at Copper, hanging with Scott. Sperry joined us late in the morning, we still managed to drag him down Little Burn, despite him getting lost in the trees above it. Denver seemed to leave the slopes at noon. As you would have expected.

We followed up with a Super Bowl party at Scott's house. Driving home during the second half of the game was great. They should have a Super Bowl every Sunday!!!!

The last two days Troy was a little tired, but he still has been working on junk at the house. Thanks for replacing the glo plugs on the golf, and fixing the speedo in the jeep!

Anyone with drywall skills want to crash over for a few nights to work on the house?
