Today we got up and got ready for skiing. We had already scoped out the remote parking, where a shuttle would take us to the gondola, which would take us to the ski slopes. We had no trouble getting to the slopes, and had a great day skiing Peak 7 & 8, including green, blue, and even a black run! Thanks to an iPhone app, Tony tracked our runs and found we skied 7.2 miles.

Peak 8, not too crowded yet!
Us after a fun day of skiing.
We had a great time, as lift lines weren't near as bad as we'd expected, and the runs were very much to our liking. The snow was not bad either, not too chewed up for this time of year and as little snow as they've had. Tony had prepared the crock pot with a pot roast before we left, so when we got back from skiing, dinner was done!
About the time we finished dinner, there was a knock at the door. Dan, the fellow Heartland 5ver owner, had stopped by to invite us to eat dinner/visit. We decided to pass, but set up a possible plan for tomorrow. We didn't do much the rest of the evening, and our legs were barking, but what a good day!
Tuesday December 27, 2011
Today we decided to give our legs a rest, and go shopping downtown, instead. We had a good lunch at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co, and we enjoyed visiting the local artist coop gallery to see unique pieces of local art. We realized that our three-hour time limit was up, so we didn't get to see everything. Oh well, it'll still be there.
Walking down main street, there's a good view of the slopes.
We headed home and took a nap, then met up with Dan and Ann for dinner. After dinner, we had a lovely time visiting them in their 2011 Landmark Rushmore, swapping ski, RV, faith, scrapbooking, golfing and travel related stories. It was really nice!
All over, a blessed day.
