Vail

This past weekend we took a trip up to Vail to visit our friends Jeremy and Kelsey. They live in Eagle, just west of Vail. Jeremy hooked us up with a good deal on lift tickets so we spent Saturday on the mountain. The resort is incredible. By far the biggest and best I have ever experienced (supposedly it is the biggest resort in North America). We had a good day skiing/boarding even though the snow wasn't that great. It was nearly 50 degrees and a bit slushy, but the views and the runs were awesome. Probably my favorite part of the day was lunch (things never change, that was always my answer in elementary school too). On top of one of the many slopes they have a couple of BBQ pits open for everyone and we grilled up some brats. Great scenery and good food, can't beat that. Vail is definitely on the list for next winter's ski trip, as long as we can get some cheap lift tickets. Otherwise it is way expensive$$!
