Winter Park Fun

Another Great Skiing Weekend

Another year, and another great spring ski weekend at Winter Park. With spring break begining, the folks rented another ski in and ski out condo between Mary Jane and Winter Park for the weekend. Joined by a group of famil and friends, we all managed to get a number of runs in and a ton of sun. New this year, we managed to get not just the local crowd out, but we managed to drag guests from near and far. Coming the furthest, Mike's big boss from Australia came out to enjoy the both the weather and the snow, and we even managed to get a Texan down the moguls of Mary Jane. Along with the beautiful sun, a number of us hit the tubing hill at Frasier (pictures to come) and a handful of us managed to put away the handle of Whiskey before sleeping wherever space allowed. The weekend not only saw sun and fun on the slopes, but the first attempt of a box my Michelle, hopefully the next one goes down without the injuries (knee). Maybe Ryan can get out the bee costume and show her how it's done. It seemed that the sun not only brought out the locals for the weekend, but also tourists from around the country. We got the opportunity to share the hot tub with the southerners who came more for the Miller lite and cigarettes than the skiing. Who would have thought that a middle aged lady could put away more than a 6-pack in less than an hour? All in all, another great weekend, and just maybe all of the fun will help the folks realize just how much they need to buy a place so we can do it just that much more often :)
