(Snowmass)
the ridge at top center is the Headwall (not open yet)
you ski where the shadows are (steep) and it's a lot further away than it looks

and it's just gonna get better.
By the time you guys get here it's gonna be the best!

Know you know why I'm sore today.

Obviously these pics are from nearer the top of Snowmass and are not indicative of the whole mountain.  Your family will love it here also because there's so much terrain to choose from and we don't get crowds like the front range does.  
I tend to get impatient if I have to wait more than 2 chairs before I load...    I'm getting spoiled I think....

Bastard! :mad: :p

These were taken yesterday...
The kids got to romp around in some snow at Chinook Pass, elevation 5400 feet. Chinook pass has been open on Dec. 1st only once before since being constructed due to our lack of percipitation.

Cascade range was crisp with enthusiam

Chinook Peak looked alittle ragged as we approached the top
 (http://home.earthlink.net/~ripsnort/Winter/ChinookPeak.jpg)
                       
At the top, 5400 feet and “Windy Road” ahead sign is always a good thing with BMW products. :)

And looking back, Mt. Rainer was basked in sunlite…

Opportunity for a “Boys Day Out” photo as some tourists snapped our pic
