RSSOk, not really. I've got to learn how to ski moguls someday...
We went skiing at Copper Mountain today, and this post is dedicated to making Ben see how much he missed. :D (I know, I'm cruel.)
First of all, lunch - the first most-looked-forward-to time of day.
We looked around for a place to eat...
And then we decided to eat in the lodge. (Jack's, no less. Yippee, lots of cool dudes and loud music!)
I'm sure you can see how exciting our lunch was.
Then Jacob saw something.
He said, "A green outfit, just what I've always wanted!"
But then as he was plotting how he was going to take it, the owner came back, wearing....green snow pants!
Totally cool, dude.
Now here's a picture for Ben who probably hasn't seen anything cooler than cold tap water or anything higher than a casino.
This is looking across the back bowls. (You know, at the top of the Rendezvous.)

And here's my favorite run of the day: Andy's Encore to Rosi's Run.
The snow was pretty good (other than the slush), and it was really fun. I love going fast down those things.
Ben, that little lump in the foreground should bear special significance to you. Fortunately, I remembered about that flattish place that tricks you into thinking you're not going all that fast. Then you hit the bumps...
What was really bad was on our last run of the day. See that shaded place? Yep, you can't see a thing on that snow. Seriously. Especially when you're going fast. All you can do is keep looking ahead and hoping you don't run over any poor, helpless ground squirrels. Or bumps.
How come pictures never do justice to reality? That was a lot steeper in real life.

Then here's me, trying out my self portrait skills while waiting for slowpoke Mark to catch up. :D Ha!
See my nice $10 skis! Of course I had to get those in the picture.

Now you can see how exciting our lunch really was.

Thanks, Beck >:-/
Ok, ok, I actually did enjoy the pictures, thanks :-)
KODOL! That picture would make me think Rossi's Run is an easy beginners slope. :-)
Looks like a lot of fun!
Still wearing the chef's hat?
Yeah, the Copper Bowl is really fun. You should try snowboarding - you might actually like it. Ouch.
Yay! Pictures galore!
That green outfit looks like a firefighters suit. Must be one of those winter forest fire fighters you hear about.
Wow...that is quite the view! It makes Eldora seem like the foothills.
Those bumps look FUN! (Fun to watch people go over and wipe out, that is.)
You all have way too much energy in the video. By lunch time, everyone is supposed to be flopped over in their chairs, completely limp with mouths hanging open, emitting odd grunts of pain and indifference.
Mrmmph.
Well, you don't have to be that way... Take up skiing. :-)
