I don't have cable but I pd for HBO now just to watch game of thrones. Yes I am a nerd.

Haha thanks TP4. Was in the mid 90's our whole ride (in full gear) but the last 30 miles or so into Telluride the sky got black and we got rained on pretty good. Just checked into the Hotel Columbia. We splurged since this was our last stop. This hotel is amazing! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Almost to Telluride. A very hot day of riding. Lots of stops for water breaks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I lol'd at this

Not sure. They joined up with the Vail/epic pass for a season then switched to the WP/Copper Pass.

Staying local at community college for a year then he wants to transfer to University of Hawaii. Too bad he didn't get serious about school till this past year. And I just realized I didn't answer your question; no never skied at CB.

I got the same pass as last year so I still plan on going to WP since it's close. I really hate day trips on the weekends since I-70 is always terrible. Found a cheap motel downtown WP I may use a few times. Will only have one kid at home next year so it may be easier for me to leave for a few days at a time during the week. We will see.

My season was average. I could have had more days, started out strong, but then didn't ski for a whole month. Got in a few really good powder days (which would have been better if I could ski powder ). I missed the PASR crew since they didn't visit this year. A little bittersweet giving up the place in Winter Park, but hopefully my place in Crested Butte will be done by next ski season. Demolition of the old house starts tomorrow. Builder says 7 months but construction never goes according to schedule. Picked up a good book on training for alpine climbs. Not totally relevant since I don't rock climb but am following their suggestions. My hope is to hike Longs Peak in August. If not Longs then at least a 10-12 mile 14er with 4500' elevation gain.

My head is into warmer activities. Same reason I do not feel like hiking in snow.

I know I just can't get back into the mindset.

^supposed to snow every day til Monday in the mountains. Was going to do a hike off Guanella Pass but now I guess I will save it for later in the season.

She only sent me 2 pics so far. The harness and angle of the shot is not kind, not crazy about all the "cushion" I seem to be displaying on my back. This was the second rappel called the "midevil chamber." Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Wasn't windy but I ripped the shit out of my hand gripping so tight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had a great weekend in Moab. Riding home in the van now. 2 rappels; second one was super scary. After 20 feet you lose the wall and floated in space for the last 175'. Don't have too many pics, one girl in the group has a great camera and got some good shots I will post when she sends them to me. Second rappel First rappel Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was in Santa Fe last night. Day trip to Taos today. Home base is Ojo Caliente Hot Springs.

You're welcome and anytime.

I remember when I first moved here I was winded going up the stairs for about a week. My neighbor took me on a summit hike that isn't very high but you gain a lot of elevation in a short distance. My lungs felt like they were burning and I had to take lots of breaks. Go on your hike, take it slow, you can always take breaks and see how you feel to continue.

Actually my older son really wanted to come but he got a new job and started this weekend.

Yes I know pretty pathetic. My own fault really, I do too much for them.

Nope. My kids and husband were all lobbying for me to come home. Mostly because they ate all the food in the house. Hit a yoga class this morning then got on the road Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
