In February of 2017, Bobby Lee, Randall and I went skiing for 2 days in the middle of the week in Colorado. Our plan was to ski at Breckenridge for one day and then at Copper Mountain the next day. But plans always change and we were flexible.
Felicia had rented a VRBO condo in Silverthorne, Colorado, which is on Interstate 70 right between Frisco and Dillon, a very nice location in Summit County. We skied at Copper Mountain on day one and we liked it so much that we went back to Copper again the next day to finish off the rest of the trails that we did not get on day one. Copper Mountain is very big. Randall had not been skiing for over 20 years but he picked that skiing back up in 5 minutes.
Did I mention that we got a 3 bedroom, 3 bath place right on the Blue River in Colorado.
Two feet of snow on the ground, a noisy, cold running river – that place was nice!
Dillon, Frisco & Silverthorne are pretty high up in altitude, all over 9000 feet. It is hard to breathe when you fly in from Dallas at less than 500 feet. When you go into a Walmart or Target or sporting goods store, on the end caps they are selling bottled oxygen to the tourists who can’t breathe very well.
At the mountain tops where we got off the ski lift, we were about 12,500 feet high, even harder to breathe, so we did not hang around very long at the top.
