Ski Bunnies, Ski Buddies


OK, Check out Kirk and his Ski Bunnies [oh, I mean ski buddies, right?]. When we are not working as professional innsitters Kirk and I  love to play outdoors and in the winter that means skiing. Skiing is always more fun if you have buddies to ski with. In this photo our "buddies" are Elizabeth Padilla and Claire Beland, two friends from Golden CO, and we are skiing at Winter Park Resort . Winter Park is a great ski area because it is close to Denver and has lots of great terrain. As you can see, we got a day of stunning weather so we could see all the surrounding mountains - WOW!



Not such a stunning day here at
Copper Mountain Ski area but Kirk had fun with his Ski Buddy, and cousin, Scot Taylor. Since we did not have a group of Ski Bunnies with us, I let the two guys go ski all the difficult black diamond runs while I spent my time on the intermediate slopes - still fun!






Of course Kirk's favorite Ski Bunny had better be - moi!! This is obviously a much better day at Copper Mountain and we are up on Hallelujah Ridge with amazing views in all directions and yes, it is a difficult black diamond run and I loved it - I guess I'm just a fair weather skier!


Kirk's other favorite Ski Bunny is our daughter, Martine Worrall Stillman. Here they are skiing at Park City Resort  and loving it! Not much snow there but lots of great groomed runs.




                                         Ski Buddies are good for more than just skiing -
                             CHEERS to all our friends who like to go play in the snow with us!

Winter Wonderland

In our profession as Interim Innkeepers we get to travel a lot - that's what this blog is all about. Well, this month we got to drive from Oregon to Colorado again... sigh! But we used the trip to enjoy some of our favorite winter sports and visit some of our favorite winter places and see some of our favorite people:

    In Leavenworth Washington we -
                              Sledded with our daughter and went Skiing with friends.

     
     

    In Sun Valley Idaho we -
          Ice Skated on the historic rink and went Nordic Skiing with a friend.
            
 
 
    In Beaver Creek Colorado we -
             Went Skiing with friends and Pic-Nic'd in the snow.
 

                                 
 
As you can see we just love all the fun you can have in the snow.
What's your favorite winter sport?
