in Nsnow, Snow
While we felt a bit stupid going to Colorado just as Tahoe had been getting 2-3ft of fresh snow, thankfully Colorado also got fresh snow, up to 1.5ft over 3 days in some places, so it didn't suck too badly :)
Nice weather when we arrived thursday night:
The next morning, we drove to A-Basin since it was close and we had had a short night with the trip. It's not a big resort but once we found the right lifts, it was good enough for a day's worth :)

The second day, we drove to Vail and got over the pass while it was snowing and people without chains were sliding sideways or off the road. The rental Arturo got drove very nicely though:
The 3rd day, we went to Beaver creek since they had gotten a bit more of half a foot over night, and more than others:
very nice steep terrain
A big thanks to Suwei and Karl for organizing this with Arturo who drove our sorry asses around expertly |
