Here is another view of the peaks near Vail with a little wind or clouds up near the top. Every time I go out west and see these mountain peaks it just refreshes my soul. So beautiful. Those living out west are lucky to have these views but I wonder if those of us who are flatlanders just appreciate them more? The drive back from Vail had a lot of those views (our drive up was in the dark and in near white-out conditions--that was an amazing experience as well). Soul refreshed. Now back to work and family. I can also confirm that skiing is an anaerobic activity and, despite the amazing breakfasts that Samantha, Joe Jr and Joe Senior made for us, you can lose a pound or two while skiing. Got to keep it off!!
