the boat round two

Friday morning we drove to steamboat, got lost trying to find a breakfast joint in Silverthorne - it's behind the school on the dirt road? Google maps be damned! We finally ate at some coffee shop which was good enough. Started the day over at sunnyside which was a solid sheet of ice, but luckily we were on the lift with a guide who recommended heading over to storm peak & the north facing runs which were MUCH better, and it hard snowed all day.

After a rockin' day on the slopes, we headed to our cool hotel downtown - the Nordic Lodge. The super friendly owner even gave us wine glasses from his place to use and a bogo dinner coupon at an italian restaurant he was way into right next door. And it was a yummy dinner. We were participating in a roundby round NCAA bracket, and Steph was currently in first place!

Saturday the mountain reported 5" of fresh but it seemed more like 8" in some places, and there was not a cloud in the sky! Pretty much rode the chutes all day - which had phenomenal snow.

Apré ski we walked over to the Mahogany Grill & Brewhouse happy hour for beers & tapas - the beers were safe, but refreshing. Later that night I picked up a deep dish pizza for dinner and we ate in our room watching whatever on the tele.

Sunday morning after breakfast, we took the scenic route home via 40.
