Day 10: 12/29/07

Conditions: Snowy and windy
Location: Breckenridge, CO

Highlights:

- Runs that lasted longer than 30 seconds, which is what we are accustomed to in Michigan
- 2 fantastic runs down T-Bar North and T-Bar South (our names for the runs, they do not have actual names)
- Semi-fresh tracks on The Burn and in various trees

Lowlights:

- We were panting after the simplest tasks…like booting up. Three cheers for the altitude.
- It was very cold and windy (see pictures) - when we woke up it was zero degrees and there was significant wind-chill. We actually utilized a warming hut at one point.
- Breanne had an incident with a large stump in the trees, leaving a deep gash on her calf and forcing her to all it a day before noon.
- Imperial chair never opened and the T-bar closed for the afternoon
- The crowd in the lodge and cafeteria was unbelievable…bad enough to make us question whether or not Breckenridge is indeed the place we wanted to retire.
- The head repairman at Lone Star Sports refused to work on Dirk’s severely-damaged Burton Baron

Après Ski:

Craig made Bloody Mary’s that tasted eerily similar to gazpacho…but were tasty nonetheless; Breanne cooked a Mexican feast; Steph got her board tuned; the Patriots beat the Giants; and everyone was in bed by around 9:15pm

Days to go: 40
