It's frickin' freezing Mr Bigglesworth

I'm surrounded by snow! After a long day's travel yesterday, from Antigua to Guatemala City and on to Denver via Los Angeles, capped off by a long drive to Vail, I can now freeze to death in peace...

I met Jen and Peter at Denver International at around 6pm yesterday and we hired a car to drive here to Vail. We're staying in a seriously cool pad just down the interstate from the resort. I've actually just come out of the jacuzzi! We made a slow start to the day today but ended up with an amazing afternoon's skiing. It came back to me pretty quickly after a 2 year break which was a nice surprise. Tomorrow we plan to head out early to make it to the back bowls before the weekend crowds descend. It should be an awesome start to a week of skiing. I can't even begin to express how grateful I am to Jen and Peter for this wonderful opportunity.

Jen and Peter after our skiing this afternoon. Somehow they managed to organise VIP parking for us right at the main gondola, and with complementary hot chocolate and cookies to boot!

Its well below freezing here which makes a massive change from the past weeks. While drinking wine in the jacuzzi just now I found it took only seconds out of the water for my hair to freeze solid!


Damn, I've had to ditch my beach bum image for a while... It looks like I'm smiling but thats probably just my teeth shivering! Just kidding, I love this stuff...
