Wed Jan 11: Skiing Breckenridge

On Wednesday, my motley crew skied at the Breckenridge resort. Our great accomplishment was to hike up to the very top of Imperial ridge. To get there we had to take 3 or 4 lifts. The last one was brand new this season, and got us near the top. We hiked the last 500 feet or so to an altitude of 12,998 feet. The hike took about 15 minutes, and had us huffin' and puffin'. When we got there, we felt like we had conquered Everest.

As at Copper, we skied bowls, trees and a few groomed runs. Loads of fun. After a day of skiing, I drove back to Steamboat.
