Sugarbush Group Trip January 2010

Can you say cold? It was bitter in early January at Sugarbush. Temps in the single digits at high noon. Conditions were mixed with the glades having the best conditions. It snowed hard the week before but those northeast winds blew it into the woods. Exposed trails were, well lets just say ice is an under statement. Rime coated all the upper mountain lifts. On the positive side, Sugarbush resort was trying hard to get some snow on the bad spots. (fyi, camera date is wrong on pic)
....more to come.

Breckenridge, CO, December 28, 2003 -January 6, 2004

Breckenridge is a great resort town. The mountain has plenty to offer too. There are 4 huge peaks and some nice bowl skiing. The 6-chair area was real sweet with a foot of freshies. This is a great group trip destination. I found that the season pass was cheaper then a 6 -day multi-pass. I skied 8 days. The pass was also good at Vail, Keystone, and Arapahoe Basin. I took one day off to snowshoe. I would suggest non-holiday for anyone going. The lines were not bad if you knew the mountain. My personal guide made sure we didn't hit too many lift lines.

I took a day to hit Arapahoe Basin (A-bay). This is a sweet place to ski. It's old school...with an old time rustic lodge, down to earth and low-key people, and all-around good vibe. Great conditions, too. I highly recommend a day trip (or 2) here.
