When asked to come to CO for the award ceremony for the Powdershots Photo Contest, I told them I couldn't take off work. I immediately called SnowDude to tell him they called. He said "Let's go!". He's been working so much, I was surprised he wanted to go. Them my boss called and asked if I found a phone number he had asked for. Oops! Got sidetracked with the phone calls, and told him. He told me to "Go for it!" I told him it was on Friday, and he said to "GO!". What a great boss!! I got someone to cover for me Fri and Mon. I made some calls to Mammoth and found someone coming our way to bring our snowboarding gear from our condo. We made travel arrangements, and had a wonderful 4 days in CO!!!

Day 1: Flew to Denver, Christy Sports at 7pm for the Powdershots Photo Contest award ceremony. I won! Drove to Dillon and checked into the Ptarmigan Inn.

Day 2: Storming on the slopes. Rode Loveland Ski Area and later had dinner and drinks at the Dam Brewery again. Dinner at Bubba Gumps in Breckenridge.

Thanks CanariaChick,
I'm 47 going on 20. All I wanna do is backpack and snowboard!


Got another winning photo, that's going on a book cover. Should be out next week, I think.

Looks like you had a great time. Glad mother nature cooperated and dropped some freshies for you in what was an off year (although kinda not off compared to the last six years ;)) in CO.
