New Years in Glenwood Springs

Our friends the Posts invited us to join their family, plus Lonny and Tracy, up in a rented house in Glenwood over New Years. We barely made it out of Denver before the second snow storm hit the city (I-70 was closed through Eisenhower Tunnel, so we had to divert over Berthoud Pass), but once we made it over the Continental Divide, the roads were clear and dry.

We skied two days at Sunlight (a small ski area a few minutes away from Glenwood), went snowshoeing in Aspen, played games, watched movies, and rang in the New Year - it was great!

Happy New Year everyone!

The snow was deep enough that if you knelt in it, it appeared as though you were waist deep in it...we had some fun with that later in the hike

Brad and Lisa, after having located the "cooking epoxy"
We rented a house in Glenwood Springs that was rather disorganized. The kitchen, for example, had junk drawers where you"d normally expect pot holders and the like. An example of this was the fact that just below the stove, we found epoxy in a drawer.
