Keystone, CO

Holy moly, where have the past few months gone...2009 has been a blur already! We have been enjoying an unseasonable warm past few weeks. In Parker, there isn't a hint of snow anywhere. Today, it was in the 60's-low 70's. Those temperature are definitely NOT representative of Keystone, CO where we went on Saturday. Keystone is one of the many ski resorts here in CO. Since I don't ski, Dan had planned the day around some ski time for him, while I read at the "Summit House" and then we went tubing for the first time together. This was quite an experience. It was freezing cold whipping down those slopes on inner tubes but the adrenaline and excitement warmed ya right up! We had a blast. You pay by the hour so time is of the essence. As soon as Dan and I hit the bottom of the run we were off as fast as we could to the "people mover" that took us back up to the top. Screams, music and laughter filled the air as everyone descended down the snowy hills.

The wonderful closed gondolas that keep you nice and warm on your ride up to the top.

Two at a time twisting down the slope...ridiculously fun!
