Thanksgiving Break 2014


Breckenridge
Thanksgiving break this year I headed out to Colorado to get some early season turns in. Tyler picked me up at a nice 4:15am to make my 6am flight. 
70 Traffic!!

The drive was nice until he had to stop due to his bowel movements; we were about 10 minutes from the airport. The Wednesday before thanksgiving is the busiest flying day of the year, but with such an early flight I was able to miss all of the traffic until I was out in Colorado. Due to the 12 inches of snow Colorado got overnight, the 70 tunnel was a traffic jam.

Pretty good snow cover
Luckily I was still able to be at Breckenridge skiing by 11am, not bad since earlier that morning I was in St.Louis. From Breck, I drove north to Winter Park, where I stayed the following nights at Pam’s house. The next two days I skied Winter Park, and on Friday the Marry Jane side of Winter Park opened.

The view from Pam's drive way

On Saturday I headed over to Copper and finished the trip Sunday back at Winter Park. It was a great trip, and was wonderful catching up with Pam. Enjoy the pictures, but they really do not do justice to seeing the views in real life. Until the next adventure.
Copper was busy
