Telluride, Tucker's Birthday and the drive home?

Negative temps to ski.... what happens first? ALL METAL COMES OUT OF EARS!!!!!


So, after 2 days of EPIC powder at Purgatory we headed over the pass to Telluride where we had 2 nights of hotel booked. We arrived about 5:30 and headed out for dinner.... a brewery in Telluride - yuck! If you like beer DO NOT go to this pub.

On Saturday morning we woke up and it was -9 deg F. Yes, negative numbers. It had warmed up to -7 by the time we hit the slopes. On New Years Day with negative temps we had the mountain to ourselves - which was great! about an hour at a time because then I needed to go in and warm up! How do you dress for negative temps? LOTS of layers - I have on THREE down coats - grey, orange and blue.... wow!





We finished our ski day about 4 and got showers and went out for Mr. Brown's birthday!! WOOT! It was fantastic food!!!




Carrot Cake for dessert!
