Another Beautiful Day at Vail!


Vail has gotten over 30 inches of snow in the past week. We just had to get up early and take advantage of all that fresh snow. We have been so busy that we haven't gone skiing in a few weeks. And again we had fantastic weather. It's not always so clear and sunny in the high country. We've just gotten really lucky that every time we go it's clear as a bell. It was cold today but the sun made it warm a bit.

Alex fell on a black run, you should have seen the snow he kicked up in his tumble....very impressive. And he fell so hard that he broke the brake on his ski and had to go all the way down the rest of the mountain on one ski, which is a very long way at Vail. The funny part was that with the break broken, the ski took off by itself down the mountain and I went chasing after it. It was quit the scene I am sure. It bounced off a few people and eventually came to rest about 500 yards after its start. The good new is that we were able to patch his ski to make it usable for the rest of the day and miraculously Alex wasn't hurt.

Below is shot of each of us about to head back down the same black Alex fell on. We had a great day and came home to very happy kitties unaware that a puppy was about to arrive for another week at the Kaplun family lodge and spa.
