Colorado Ski Vacation

Zippy and I have really enjoyed ourselves out in Colorado. It’s one of those awesome getaways that strike you with “Why exactly do we have to go home?”.

We got to hang out with Crystal & Liam.

Check out all kinds of scenery.

Ghost Towns. =)

And we Skied!.. Well, Zippy Skis. I brought my Snowboard, had it refurbished and bought a ton of awesome new gear.

Even this early in the season (they only just now started opening the ski resorts) it’s just perfect out there. The whole Green+Healthy revolution is common place in the Mountains of Colorado. Zippy was really excited and happy to find vegetarian and eclectic delicious meals available everywhere we ate. The first full day I spent above 10,000 feet elevation kind of had me shaking a bit with strange breathing patterns but after a few times down the slopes I was feeling great. We are planning on going back again Late February when my brother gets to take a vacation away from Iraq. I’m dying to go snowboarding with Matt. If everything goes right a couple of our friends might even head out there with us. If Zippy and I don’t move to Colorado at some point (in the mountains of course) then I’m almost positive it will be a getaway destination we visit yearly if not more often.

Zippy is working on sorting through the pics she took to upload them to her flickr Colorado Ski Vacation Set. Here’s my Colorado Ski Vacatino Set.
