Well, I counted up all the ski days for 2010... SIXTY-FOUR of them! not bad, I say! So, I get Christmas to New Years off every year and this year Tucker's work is 'encouraging' them to take vacation every quarter so he joined me! We contacted friends in Utah and Southern Colorado with hopes that we could just hop in the truck and go where the snow is/was!
We didn't do tooooooo shabby.
Fri, December 24th - Xmas Eve dinner in Boulder with the Smiths! AWESOME!!!!
Sat, December 25th - ski into 10th Mountain Division Hut near Tennessee Pass
Sun, December 26th - ski around 10th Mountain Division Hut
Mon, December 27th - ski out of 10th Mtn Division hut (turns in the 6"-8" of fresh before the hike to the car though!)
Tues, December 28th - ski Copper Mountain
Wed, December 29th - drive down to Wolf Creek and ski while the snow is DUMPING!!!
Thurs, December 30th - Purgatory - 20" of fresh reported - AWESOME!!!
Fri, December 31st - Purgatory - 12" of fresh reported - another AWESOME ski day!!
Sat, January 1st - Tucker's birthday and NEGATIVE 8 degrees to start our ski day at Telluride.... however, NEGATIVE 22 reported in Durango so glad we left anyway.
Sun, Janurary 2nd - Leave Telluride and ski Vail for the afternoon - no new snow but I found some good stashes and so did Tucker.
all in all? 9 days off of work, 9 days of skiing with the love of my life, 3 backcountry days and 5 resorts? Doesn't suck! BEST Christmas/New Years/Birthday event EVER!
9 days... 1100 miles of driving.... 23 hours of driving... almost 84 gallons of gas.... 13 mpg.
