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.

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.
