            With excerpts from Copper Mnt
 

Parking lot at the top of Vail pass. We are ready  to Rock and Roll!   Hey, who's goin to carry all this stuff?

                                                                        

Can you find the bird?
 

Are we there yet?

           
 

                                                       Man, these packs are heavy!
 
 
 
 

Yodel hay he who...we've arrived!

          

Not bad inside either!

                                                              

Some of us just didn't get enough haulin' this morning and decided to head out exploring further up the trail.

         
 

Things were going real swell until we lost the trail!
 

              

But not for long. We were soon back on the road again

                                                          

Noth'in like being back inside with all the comforts of home!

     

The Breakfast Chef got an early start Saturday Morning

                                                    
 

We also had some of company Saturday morning

          
 
 

We stayed in Walters Cabin which had the best views of all three cabins. Walters is on the left

                                                 

It was all downhill coming out....we were back at the car and heading to Copper Mnt. for some Alpine action by 10 AM!


                                                                      
 
 
 

Eric gave me this great action shot on the way down although I was a fraction of a second late!

                         

Yes, that really was Eric! 
 
 

After a full day of Nordic and Alpine skiing we kicked back at Jacks watering hole at the base of Copper.
