I’m so excited to share!
Captain booked us a trip to Steamboat, Colorado! This is my Christmas gift! 🎄
We leave today and will be gone for 5 days! (Grayheart has the kids the first week of holiday break.)
I’m going skiing! ⛷ I haven’t gone in several years and cannot wait! I can’t wait to see snow again and breathe the crisp air the mountains have to offer.
I’d love any suggestions you have of the area as I’ve never been to Colorado. I’ll be in Denver and Steamboat. I’m thrilled to get to see this part of the country!

I’ve never been skiing is it hard to learn?

I think it’s pretty ok to learn to do the first time. It takes a bit but I got the hang of it and i wasn’t raised anywhere near cold weather. I found snowboarding to be very very difficult, though! But I can’t maneuver a skateboard to save my life! You?

Sorry, I’ve never been a snow bunny, so I don’t have any advice. However, I know for a fact that there are plenty of nice dispensaries in Denver. 🙂

I used to ski….on my feet….down the mountains of North Carolina. Most of the time I was on my way to school. Loved sliding all the way down just as I had made it all the way to the top of the hill. LOL

Steamboat is also famous for it hot spring baths, bring a bathing suit, unless you don’t care. The sulphur smell takes a little getting used to, but is very therapeutic. If you are driving to Steamboat from Denver, you should stop and see Vail. It’s a little overboard with $$$ but a very lovely Swiss village feel. If you are taking Rt 70 Vail is about 1/2 way. The Main Street of Steamboat is real old west, with lots of eateries and local artisan shops. We don’t ski, but visit CO often. Breckenridge and Leadville are our favorites … Aspen – meh … Have fun and if you’ve never seen the Rockies prepare to be awestruck.

Ooh! Great advice!! I forgot all about the hot spring baths!
Driving today and we haven’t decided if we will stop in Vail or Breckenridge along the way… Even if it adds length to the drive.
I cannot wait to be awestruck! Thank guy for this wonderful advice!!
