By late March in Aspen the sun is mid-summer hot and the snow is
just about perfect.
On Easter morning our best buddy
Gilbert came around early, we
put some good
music in the tape deck of his Jeep, and we set off down the road
for a day of spring
skiing on Snowmass Mountain.
|
 |
|
We parked at Woods Run, snapped on our skis, and
headed down the fast-disappearing snow to the lift.
We had to race to keep up with Katherine!
(Has she really only been skiing for four months??) |
|
Gilbert and Scott were looking for trouble, so they took off their
skies at the top of Elk Camp and
hiked through the gate then up the ridge to the top of Long Shot. The
views were amazing (neither
one fell off the cornice), then they snapped on their skies and
started down towards valley floor.
|
 |
Back up on top of Elk Camp, Gilbert and
Scott met up with Katherine, who had been doing high-speed top-to-bottom
laps (has she really only been skiing
for four months??). |
 |
|
Then it was time
for a lunch break
at Café
Suzanne,
with a long bask
|
|
|
in the hot sun. Afterwards we set for a few more perfect runs
(no, Gilbert did not ski off the cliff).
|
|
But the snow was beginning to
turn into
mashed potatoes, and so were our
legs.
So we skied back down to the
parking lot
where our chauffeur was waiting
for us. |
 |
Another perfect spring day in the mountains. Too bad we have to go
back to work in the morning.
