Colorado skiing weekend

This long weekend was spent skiing in Wolf Creek, CO. We stayed in a very cosy house though all the stuffed animals and a bull horn chair. The house that we had to dig our way into is situated by the San Juan river between Pagosa Springs and Wolf Creek. There was a lot of snow and they only cleared the path for the cars and did not clear the stairs. Luckily I had brought my small showel so I got to work a bit. The first night we only stayed at the house and ate good food and played a vicious card game that meant that you had to drink a lot.

A few days before the weekend Wolf Creek got some fresh powder but we only found traces of that in the woods. I got to try my new used skis in the powder and it was very nice to be able to float on top more than with my other skinny ones.
My new used skis (but mine have Rottefella R8's instead).

Wolf Creek is a pretty good ski area. With fresh powder the top part must be excellent. Now it was too bumpy for my taste. The slopes far left were really steep but there was some great powder among the trees in the less steep part.
