2nd Annual Ski Trip '09






This last week we enjoyed a nice and relaxing week in Silverthorn, Colorado with my family. My parents rented a 12 passenger van (for the 6 of us) so we could ride comfortably for the 12 hour drive. Our first full day there, all of us "kids" went skiing at Ski Cooper. This is an affordable, smaller mountain that's great for beginners like myself. The boys tried snow boarding the first day. I think they were quite sore by the end of it. The next day, the boys traded in their snowboards for skies and headed out to Loveland. This place too was affordable, but a bigger mountain.

Other days we enjoyed massages, shopping at the Outlet Mall, snow mobiling, eating the Dam Brewery, etc. We also thoroughly enjoyed our time at the condo which consisted of delicious, home cooked meals by none other than chef Ed Passman, lots of games such as Settlers, Bananagrams, Speed, Pit, and a couple of movies.

We always enjoy Ma and Pa Passman's generosity as the ski trip is something we look forward to all year. Hopefully the tradition will continue next year!
