Skiing at Loveland

Yesterday my best friend Neal and I made our annual trek up to Loveland Ski Area for some early season skiing. This year we brought Neal's son Skyler with us. Skyler is 14 and has never been skiing, so Neal placed him in a lesson. The lesson was great, and Skyler only fell once, which is impressive for a first timer.

We all had a great time. The snow was pretty good for early season with no rocks to be found. A fair amount of terrain was open so we had a lot of fun, despite the windy and snowy conditions.

Here is a picture of Neal:


And me:


We were on a trail that runs past the entrance to Eisenhower Tunnel, which you can see behind us. The tunnel is at 11,158 ft in elevation (3401 meters) and we could tell it after a long ski run.

It was a great day of fun for all!
