Ending 2009 and starting 2010 with a ski

New Years Eve was the 2nd full moon for the month of December. We took advantage of the full moon, new snow, cold temps and a nearby National Park to ski out the old year. The pictures don't do justice to skiing along a very large canyon. Oh ya, the temperature at the start of the ski was +3 F!

Skiing by moonlight.
New years day and the weather was perfect. What better way to usher in a new year than a ski in the Colorado high country and a soak in a natural hot spring?

Here we are crossing Red Mountain Creek.

The perfect Colorado winter day.
