The sun was shining and the powder was bitchin'!!!
Hey guys, I'm back from my three day trip to the mountains. So now i'm back at my rents house just counting down the few days i have left before i come home and see everyone. My mountain trip was awesome had a great time. The first thing we did when we arrived at the cabin around 5:00pm was get it all heated up and turned the water on and everything, after that we headed to my favorite local mexican resteraunt Panco's and Lefty's to get some food. I ordered the shredded chicken chimichanga...and then proceeded to get shit faced off of some strong ass margaritas with my parents...talk about surreal. I think the best moment of that whole experience was my mom losing it on my dad in the car cause he kept coughing...i don't think i've ever laughed so hard in a long while.
The next day my dad, my brother, and I headed up to SolVista and skiied all day. Holy crap it was awesome. There was so much amazing powder i can't even begin to explain how amazing the slopes were. Also having recieved new ski gear for Christmas I was so warm i could have skiied clear into the evening. Unfortunately Dad is getting on in years and has a cold and Joe just isn't a big skiing fan so we ended up leaving around 3:00pm. Major bummer cause i was getting up to doing some black dot blues. Dammit. I did make a mild jump though which kicked major ass...i mean it was totally on accident and i nearly wet myself but it was frickin awesome!
The following day was very mild and quiet. Slept till about 10ish then got up and had a big breakfast with the family. After breakfast just hung around the cabin for awhile until we decided to head into the town and walk around for a bit. Went to the local history museum which is in the ildest inn in the town, it was built back in 1882ish amazing history in this town. Upon being there i learned that our families cabin was built right next too if not on a portion of land that saw one of the bloodiest gunfights in the town's history...wooppee!!! After walking around the town a bit we headed for the sledding hill, but it was crowded so we figured we'd head back there later. As we were driving back to our cabin a looked to the left and in one of nighbors front yard were three moose (meese?lol) eating off of some of the trees. I got in as close as i dared and dad took a picture. So cool! Then it was time for a good old fashion DuVall snowball fight, which let me tell you about the snow. In it's deepest parts it came up to my chest...now I'm 5'10 so imagine my ass wading in snow that's up to my chest!!! It was amaing. After awhile went back to the sledding hill for some good old fashion sledding suicide where my brother was the only one of us sledding that left unscathed. My father threw out his back...and i suffered some minor internal bleeding and a busted jaw(bruised not broken).
So needless to say i had a lot of fun at my home away from home. Can't wait to go back this spring and get in some spring skiing, which you guys should seriously give some thought in joing me up there cause it is loads of fun!
So my last couple of days in colorado should be fun. Will get some shoppping done and then tomorrow night i'm visiting some close friends of my parents Ed and Marty at there holiday bash they are having! So that should be a treat.
Well this thing has gon on long enough. See you guys in a couple of days!
Mucho Love!!
