vail condo '10

Headed up to Vail after work friday. Greg & Andy had gone up earlier in the day and were hanging out when we showed up. Steph made some lasagna for dinner, Lauren & Renn arrived a bit later on. I hit the hay relatively early, I was pretty tired for some reason. Gina & Oz were at the DU hockey game so they got there after I had gone to bed.

Got up early enough to get on the hill for first chairs, and 4-6 inches of fresh. We headed to Blue Sky and rode fresh most of the morning and I finally got to grill that burger! After lunch we headed over to Pete's area for a while then Chair 10/11 before calling it a day around 3-ish.



There was a major wreck on I-70 so vail pass was closed for a while. Jacq wound up detouring through Minturn, and Bridget just waited it out shopping in Frisco.



We all played a bunch of Blokus which is way too addictive.



And then the shotski made an appearance.





Jacq brought up a cake for Andy's b-day, and it later became a re-enactment scene of his fall on friday.



Sunday, we cleaned up the condo and hit the road early to avoid the insane sunday traffic. Later on we went to hillside for our annual Oscar dinner party. This year's menu:

Appetizers:
Invichummus (Invictus)
Crazy Artichoke Heart and Spinach Dip (Crazy Heart)

And I was the lucky winner of the Oscar pool with 16/24 correct picks!
