Well it is early Saturday morning and sadly this will be our last ski day before heading home tomorrow. A great time has been had by all and the skiing has been the best.
We skied Beaver Creek yesterday, hitting all the hills we hadn't skied up until that point and had another great day. Once again the weatherman called for cloudy conditions but was completely wrong. The sun was again blazing. We started off doing some cruising on the groomed trails but then we headed over to the Grouse Mountain and Birds of Prey chairs for some major bump runs. I am not the greatest bump skier but there is no doubt I have improved this week and I am making it down the bumps in an efficient but less than stylish manner. Lori and Cam both make the bumps look easy. A couple of the runs must have been close to 2000 vertical feet so by the time we made it to the bottom we were soaked in sweat, gasping for air and smiling bigtime.

Today we are going back to Vail to finish up the trip. Our plan is to hit some slopes that we haven't yet skied. I am quite sure that will be followed up by some drinks at Garfinkels and the entire group is going out for a nice dinner tonight to celebrate a fantastic week. (P.S. Dinner was very good although Ken was feeling under the weather and couldn't make it. Kathy, trooper that she is hosted the dinner while suffering from what she described as a serious HEMATOMA!!!!! We are all hoping she survives this injury).
I would also like to thank Kenmark Snow Sports for putting on the trip and doing a wonderful job of it. Ken and Kathy were the best hosts anyone could hope for and the rest of the staff, Gail, Jeff, Tom, and Peggy were great co-hosts. If you are in need of winter sports equipment or bicycles for the summer Kenmark is a great place to go for top line stuff with professional service provided by a staff that knows the equipment because they use it as well. Located in Richmond Hill at Yonge and Elgin Mills, website kenmarksnowsports.com. Go there, you won't regret it.
And finally I have discovered that as much as I would like to think I still have things going for me I continue to prove that I don't.

I also have to get a picture in of our room mates for the week, Bob and Mary. We had a great time skiing together and even more fun wondering where the hell Mary was. Get her on the ski hill and she just goes, to where nobody knows. Today at Vail we saw her for a few runs in the morning and then at Garfinkel's in the afternoon. There is no doubt about it though, a great time was had by all. Thanks again Kenmark.
