Well we finally made it out West skiing. I can say it was everything everyone said it would be. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather and the snow conditions (although not as deep of a base as usual) were great. We started out Wed. Feb. 15th and drove through the night arriving at around 9:00 AM in Keystone. We aclimatized on Thursday and then skied Keystone on Friday and Breckenridge on Saturday. On Sunday we skied at Keystone in the morning and then headed back for the drive home. The drive takes about 16 hours.

We liked both Keystone and Breckenridge. I thought the Keystone had better quality runs for our type of skiing, but Breckenridge had the Imperial Express lift to the top where we could also ski into the bowls. Gabe really enjoyed the experience. We went with some friends, Keachen and Jill Abing and Isaak Owen.
