A perfect day in Steamboat

Apologies for previous night complete, it turned out to be one of the best days on the hill I can remember. Day two in town and I had run into so many familiar faces of people who make Steamboat special it really makes one question why I ever left. I meet up with an old freestyling buddy and after a generous fill of coffee and a quick year in review we hit the hill. Whilst the base was a little slushy, the mountain itself had several inches of fresh dry snow and even more surprising for a Sunday – no lines! We made several sensational laps up the Storm Peak express, BC lift and Four Points before running into some other locals being friends of my ski buddy. Our two became five and all the more fun especially since now I had a girl to gossip with on the chair as the boys busied ahead together for the lift. It was one of those days where you couldn’t have wiped a smile from face if you paid me! I was laughing so hard at some points I literally feel over -thanks Eddie! There were so many laughs and even an epiphany on life but I’ll explain this later.

We slide into the base area and with about the fifth high 5 day later we see a minor commotion near ski school and meander over. The day gets better. There is Santa and three of his helper reindeers!! I excitedly jump at the photo opportunity and whisper what I hope to find under the tree on the 25th! What a day :)

To top things off I had run into some other Australian friends the previous day, some who were visiting and others back for another season. Under total duress and guilty conviction they convinced me to join them at Monday night football. I only just stay awake till the end of the game (gotta love jet lag) and after a dozen redraws as everyone else has gone home guess who wins two tickets to the Broncos??? You got it- me!!! Ahhhh so exciting!! I have wanted to go to game since I first arrived in Colorado over half a decade ago and now I’m going!! The question is – who am I going to take…. ??
