Day 4

Conditions: Man Made
Location: Keystone, CO

We spent the day at Keystone, where our condo was located. Dirk insisted on driving to the parking lot, because it was free. To get to the parking lot, we actually drove past the ski hill and around the resort. As a result, we walked just as far from the parking lot to the lift as we would have walked from our condo to the lift. At least Dirk felt good about it.

Highlights:

- Long, smooth runs
- Riding switch and getting better at it.

Lowlights:

- None, it was a good day.

Après Ski:

Weeks ago, we looked at several options for our Thanksgiving Day feast. Ultimately, we chose the Big Horn Steakhouse because it had some good fish and vegetarian options. It was going to be our nice dinner out for the trip. We double checked the menu and made our reservation. When we arrived, we found out the four star restaurant was converted to an upscale old country buffet for the night. Regrettably, there was no mention of this on the website or when we got a reservation confirmation online. No ordering, no serving, just drag yourself to the buffet and pile up your plate. After much discussion, we went home and made pasta. We just couldn’t justify dropping a lot of cash on a buffet.
