Jen and Peter left Vail on Saturday and I started my couch surfing career at Caryn and Lauren's apartment. I didn't ski on Saturday as it was cold and snowing most of the day, and I needed a break anyway. But it also meant I had awesome powder to play in on Sunday. I spent the whole of that day in the remote bowls with a massive grin on my face... well, the grin was there, but you wouldn't have seen it through all the snow covering me from my numerous face-plants!
Not the best weather for skiing...
But look what it gave me on Sunday! Outer Mongolia... on about my 3rd run of the day!I also took the opportunity on Sunday to throw myself down some of the runs we hadn't managed to get to before. Jen and Peter will remember Lover's Leap...
We never managed to coax Jen over this one... I think she just didn't want to show us up in front of the crowds on the lift above.
B E A Utiful...
The weather turned very warm on Monday so the snow did start to deteriorate. I got out early enough to catch a few good runs though and enjoyed a chilled afternoon playing on the mogul fields around lift 10. Felt strange to take things easy after skiing with Peter (amazing how much he remembers from his days as a drill sergeant in the trenches of Flanders in WW1)...
Yesterday morning I had to finally leave Vail to catch a bus (only $3 Jen!) to the airport in Eagle. From there I flew via Denver to San Francisco. It was sad to leave Caryn and Lauren after they had been so good to me. Thanks guys!
I picked up my rental car in SF and started the drive out here to Tahoe. Unfortunately I got stuck in rush hour traffic so the drive took nearly 6 hours! I was wiped when I arrived so chose just to take it easy today and catch up on some sleep and admin. Dale has been very welcoming and it looks like we'll have a blast this week.
The Bay Bridge heading out of San Fran... look mom, I'm in the slow lane.
