My Colorado trip is coming to an end tomorrow. However, over the last week or so I've experienced a lot. My legs have been feeling good lately as I have been getting some sort of exercise everyday since I've been here. My activities thus far have included: hockey, downhill skiing, cross country skiing and last but not least snow shoeing. All of my adventures have been with my dad and brother. However, my brother wasn't with us very long cause most of the time he was at a conference in Oklahoma. He's been with us for the last couple days though which has been great.
We were fortunate enough to ski three different resorts while we were here. The three resorts were Monarch, Crested Butte and Telluride. Colorado has had kinda a week snow season so on all three mountains only part of the resorts were open and some of the runs had been skied to the point where a few rocks were showing through. Despite the conditions we still had a great time and our legs got quite a workout. Of the three I think CB was my favorite.
When we weren't skiing my dad and I cross country skied and snow shoed through the mill creek area near Gunnison. My dad and I usually finished our days playing hockey going one on one against each other. That was a great workout.
As of now we are getting ready to snow shoe off of the lizard head pass out on to some steep ridges with the hope of seeing some great views.
Our trip here will be ending soon though as my dad and I will start the long drive back to AZ tomorrow morning.
On an ending note I would like to thank the Mulloys for offering us their house and hospitality in Telluride. Had a great time skiing and snow shoeing in the area.
School is approaching soon and I look forward to the change as I am going to be attending ASU this semester. Should be exciting!
