ski honeymoon part 1

Monday we kicked off our ski week honeymoon - 3 mountains in a week, essentially our pass. We hit up Copper for the first day since they reported 8" of fresh. We spent most of the day in the back bowl but boy was it COLD, mainly along the ridge after you get off the lift - the wind was fierce. After a solid day, we drove to Winter Park where we had lodging - the big white hotey across the street from the slopes. After we aprésed a bit in our penthouse suite (the Doc Holiday room), we were excited to try out the restaurant / brew pub in the place. Much to our chagrin, they weren't currently brewing any beer?! Boo on them, and then the waiter basically forgot to put our order in, then rushed it and served us raw meat. Oh well, we were pretty exhausted and had a good sized app at least!

Tuesday was sunnier, yet still wicked cold. No worries though since there were still plenty of nice powder caches all over the place. That night for dinner we headed downtown, shopped for souvenirs, and stumbled upon this cool resty called Deno's for dinner - awesome!

Wednesday we had another great day of riding and hit up downtown again for dinner this time at Backcountry Grill - an awesome steak joint.
