Before we move onto the skiing, here are a few more photos from the Rocky Mountain NP. I insisted that we drive up to Bear Lake one morning, so here we are. It was really cold!
Plenty of snow lingers here making the hike around the lake or to the waterfalls difficult. Phil is standing on about 2 feet of packed snow here.
No wonder it is cold, we are up at 9475 ft. It is windy and snowing a little bit.
Brrr. Time to head back down the mountain and spot some more wildlife.
As I mentioned in the previous post, Phil and Chris finally braved the snow and cold for a day on the slopes with friends. Our friends live in Colorado and consequently are very good skiiers and luckily, more than patient with us novices.
I seem to up end at the mere thought of snow.
Their little escapade begins in the ski rental room.
Isn't there somewhere flatter we could try??
No changing our minds now, there is only one way down the mountain.
At the top. Ok, not quite the top, but as far up as we wanted to go.
No speed records were set today, but here Chris is actually skiing and not sliding around on her butt.
Made it all the way! What a great day, we had FUN and many thanks to Sandra and Scott.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
