Fun day in the Sun and Snow

Hi Guys! It's Lauren! I finally had some time tonight to sit down and fill you in on the rest of our weekend. Sunday was a beautiful day so Tony and I decided to explore Buttermilk Mountain's trails. This mountain is the closest to our house so it was just a short drive away (5 minutes). When we got to the base we decided to explore a road that led us to the west side. We ended up hitting the jackpot and landing at the base of a lift with some great snow. So...on the snowshoes went.




Here is a quick video of me snowshoeing!!!! It is really a lot of fun. I don't always use Tony's poles but they help a lot!!!


This next picture is a photo of the resturant at the top of the mountain and the peak in the distance is called Pyramid Peak (another local 14er)
Here I am resting on the ski lift at the top of the mountain. Soon enough I will be akwardly riding the lift with my skis as I get ready to slide off and ski down!


Here is Tony! My ever so patient husband who puts up with my fussiness as I figure out my body temperature and decide just how many jackets to wear or not to wear as we climb.


Here is the fun part!!! It is so much fun and a whole lot easier to run down the slopes in the snowshoes.


Check out these turns! I was quite impressed as I watch Tony ski for the first time! I love the sound the skis make as they move through the powder snow. Looks like a lot of fun huh?

Well here is my first appearance on the blog in a long time but stay tuned because I would really like to share some of the scary Halloween costumes from yesterday on the blog very soon. Miss and love you guys a whole lot!
