Spring Break @ Vail

Using our spring break to do winter activities... We headed to Vail for some skiing/riding. The forecast had called for snow, but nothing like what actually dumped from the sky. During the five days we were there the town of Vail had 5 inches, 3 inches, 13 inches, 11 inches, and 1 inch. Needless to say conditions were for the most part good. The first day was mostly sunny as the masked skiier(Lindsey) got some nice turns while in Game Creek Bowl on our second run of the day. We made our way ALL over the mountain. On the right is a picture from China Bowl after Brian leaped of the catwalk trail that traverses past.

As the days progressed it got snowier and much deeper. On the right Lindsey poses in front of China Bowl. We did NOT ski there during that afternoon.

The following morning the snow was knee deep or deeper in some spots. There were many great photo opportunities, but stopping for pictures took soo much time. So we just have a few.

On the left is Brian surfing the powder in Sun Up Bowl. On the right is Lindsey making a money turn in Sun Up Bowl.

Needless to say those few days were the best days skiing of the year, as well as the most exhausting!

The last day the skies were clear(er). We even skiied over some drops and cornices that had been blasted that morning for avalanche control. All in all it was a great few days and a great way to end our first year of skiing in Colorado. The last picture is us with Blue Sky Basin and some of Gore Range behind us.
