Let it snow, let it snow

Blizzard of 2006 - Well, the weather outside is frightful (almost 18 inches of snow and still falling), the fire is quite delightful (in our condo at Winter Park in the Rockies), but...I do have a place to go (like thousands of other people in the greater Denver area). I am surprised at nothing. Stephen, Finley, and I wondered what else could happen on our Colorado ski trip, well it's happened. Somehow this tops any ski accidents, flat tires, or nighttime chats with police officers on the side of the highway. Amazing!
We've had four days of beautiful snowboarding. That's right...beautiful. Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper. We squeezed in a little hiking in the Flatirons.
Then, I was supposed to fly out Wednesday night for home, but Denver International Airport (DIA) is closed until Friday at noon. There are 4,500 people stranded in the airport. All things considered, we're happy with our cozy fireplace, wireless internet, and hot cocoa. Thank you very much. Stay tuned.

cops? skiing accidents? sounds like a story. glad to hear your adventure is going (and went) well. i will admit that i am jealous of the snow. there has been no snow, i repeat, absolutely no snow. there are few things more disconcerting. well, i guess losing a limb or something. so i exaggerate a little. anyhoo, enjoy. i hope to call before the week is out.

paz.
