Black Eye
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that 2006 brought in a new black eye. Any guesses on how it happened?
The real story is really not all that exciting.

Oh, Monday is a Holiday!!!
So last night (Sunday), it totaly dawned on me that today (Monday) was a paid holiday! (New Years Day was on a Sunday)
Alright!!!!
So, I deciced to go sking. My unlimitted lesson pass was now valid, so I thought I would also take a lesson. After warming up on a few runs, I went down into Mountain Village to sign up for a Alpine lesson.
I have had good luck with both my Tele and Alpine lessons, and was looking forward to it. Even though I am a "good" Alpine skier, I also feel that one can pick up a tip here or there.
Now here is the funny part, my group was made up of 5 60+ ladies and the instructor. They all were good skiers, and a lot of fun, but I might not have gotten as much out of this lesson.
The shot shown is at the highest point on the area. At the top of Chair 14 (Gold Hill) it 12,225 Feet and was a bit windy and chilly this morning. Click here of the area.

Happy New Year Snow
Holy, snow... There was a lot of snow up there today! I just looked and they reported 7 inches on the Telluride snowreport website.
Good stuff, but very tiring. Not a banner ski day for me, not sure why, but here are some possible explanations:
1) New Years Day comes after New Years Eve and all that comes with it.
2) Tweaked my knee, and was a little bit on the cautious side.
3) Just an off day.
That is a beautiful thing about living here, if you have an off day, then there is always tommorow. I got in 11,383 feet on some good runs, but I will have to notch up, if I am going to get my million feet.

The 'g' was my designated driver last night
Happy New Year!!!!
Not to many people can say they were 'driven' back from New Year festivities by a Gondola.
I went to go see Sam Bush for New Years, what fun!
I look out onto the deck and there is 4-5inches of new SNOW!!! Now, I wish I had just few less "beverages".

Tourists
Hmmmm. Telluride was busy today, or at least it seems that way to me. Thanks to tourists, it keeps this small town a float, but you know, I like it when it is a little bit more of a small ski town.
I am looking foward to getting "my" town back....
