The Skiing Pics

Got back from Breckenridge last night after a 13 hour drive :-( We set off last Friday at about 1am and drove along Highway 287 pretty much all the way to Colorado. Only got one speeding ticket too! Just as we got into Colorado, I had the car on Cruise control at 76 mph, but missed the sign that said it was a 65 zone - d'oh!

Anyway, heres some of the pics from the holiday...no broken bones to report, which was good!

This is a picture of the view from the condo window


This is the kitchen area of the condo...hmmm beer!

This was the night of the Super Bowl, I bet Mark $5 that Seattle would win...spirits were high at this point in the evening....


Mark had high hopes for Pittsburgh...Tom couldn't really give a knack.

Mark reckons he's gonna win


Its not looking good for Seattle.


Damn the Seahawks :-(



Anyway, heres some skiing pics....

Mark tries to look cool at the top of the lift

Me testing out the new board. I got fed up of falling over and almost breaking my wrists. By Monday I was just about ok though. Still prefer skiing.
Me and Tom at Vail - Vail was brilliant. (12,500 ft)

The Rocky Mountains More scenery

The view from the cable car of the restaurants and hotels etc.

At this altitude (around 11,500ft) the air is really thin, and you get really short of breath. Some people had said that we would experience altitude sickness, but that didn't happen, unless being drunk counts?

Yea, unlike Mark, the air was quite thin up here :-)

If you want to see the full 7 megapixel images, just double click on them. They look pretty good.

Hey Sazza, we must be a better snow boarder than me! Get yourself up to Aviemore - if they have any snow :-)

Hey Hazzard, its true - American Beer is very weak. They just don't understand about a good proper beer.

The worst thing about american beer is american pints. They just dont give you enough. A UK pint is 20oz, and the US pint of gayness is only 16oz. The kick in the balls is that those plastic bottles of coke are all 20oz bottles. fuck me - its no wonder theyre all fat bastards. I mean you mark. ;)
