Beaver Creek, CO “Not Exactly Roughing It!” On January 26th, 32 happy skiers arrived, and one sad one. Barb lost a piece of luggage, but happily was reunited with it by that very night. After arriving at our very spacious, with lots of stairs to get you in skiing shape, Meadows Condos, we all got together over some Pizza. Hal was out there a few days early to ensure that all the arrangements and lodging suited our needs. The week was COLD, but that kept the snow perfect. Unfortunately the skiing was cut short for Nancy and Wild Bill, as they had an early afternoon visit at the Medical Center. Informal Après Ski meeting at the Dust Boot, a group get together at the Coyote Café, being entertained nightly by Kurt and Mark and a rather “adventurous” trip to Vail for some local entertainment kept the group together both on and off the slopes. Snow on Wednesday, a day where both skiers and shoppers, Lisa wins that award for her purchase, visited Vail and met up later, and snow again on Friday, kept the conditions pristine. Mike and Debi discovered how skiers should be treated when they lunched at the Ritz. Having your boots removed and replaced by warm cushy slippers, only to have your boots put back on by the attendant made this a must see for others the next day. It was worth the pricy hamburger! The Beaver Creek tradition of fresh baked Chocolate Chip Cookies served at the base was another treat not to be missed! The conditions allowed all to ski up to their potential. Jerry and Joan get the award for most improved and even ventured onto trails with tunnels and other unexpected obstacles. A final gathering for dinner on the last night at the Dusty Boot, then onto the Hilton for more night of entertainment and our trip came to an end. It’s all been documented by many pictures which we all shared and enjoyed at our hostess’s beautiful house during our post trip party. Time to plan for next year! Jacksonville
