Day 4

Conditions: Michigan conditions: man-made and icy
Location: Keystone, CO

We packed our bags and checked out of the Christie Lodge early in the morning to make it to Keystone by open. We had a few great runs on the killer groom before the crowds and ice picked up. We hung around for a few hours, and I finally felt like I really had my legs back for the season.


Ye Ol' Keystone Parking Lot.

Overall, the trip was great despite the relatively lame conditions. At least we were making turn, which is more than most Michiganders can say.


Sometimes, even the Sharp Shooter needs a rest...

Highlight:

- Getting out early before the crowds.

Lowlight:

- Driving out of the mountains on our way to Denver. It’s always sad to see them fade in the rearview mirror.

Après Ski:

We drove to the Courtyard Marriott in Denver, CO in preparation for our 6:00am flight Sunday morning (only the busiest travel day of the year - no big deal). We ate good food and watched lots of football, including Stanford’s glorious victory over Notre Dame. There was just one bad thing: all that talk of the Heisman and LeFevor was not even mentioned. Even I can see that’s weak.
