Elk, skiing, and pizza

Wow, the days are zooming by - we have only 9 days left before going back to Naples. We had some snow (6 inches) and the direction it blew caused Mark to have to grab a ladder to climb up and brush off the satellite dishes. The snow was so deep around that part of  the yard, he had to use snowshoes. Who knew snowshoes were a necessity here? And yes, we have 2 dishes - one for tv and one for internet - the way it's done here. Must stay connected with the outside world.

Today the sun was shining and 22 degrees. Felt warm! Skiing today. I'll admit I was very apprehensive, but after trying to remember what you do with those ski things, it went well. I can't claim to have the most beautiful form, but at least didn't fling myself and equipment all over the slopes. Things have changed since we were last there skiing. There are platforms for jumping in quite a few places - very impressive and fun to watch, but not for me.

Oh, yes made it to Secret Stash the other day. That unique pizza place sucks us in and spits us out feeling much heavier. - sooo good.

We saw a herd of elk on the way to Crested Butte a couple days ago. Or, really, Mark saw them and then I grabbed the camera (we call him eagle eye Adams) They are not in the least bothered by cold and bask in the sun laying on the snow.

So beautiful  here at this time of year, but winter is still in full swing for 2 more months. Then spring arrives, or as they call it here - mud season. All that snow has to go somewhere...
