Lunch break while skiing at Eldora

Great weather and empty slopes!

Catching some air!

Now for Joe!

And the lone skier!

Starting our trek – notice the lack of snow, warm weather and smiling faces!

A rest stop on the trail…Amy giving her best “gangsta” pose

We’re in the mountains now!

What’s a little snow for our hike?

Bum drying around the fire (it only went downhill from there)

Building our snow cave – big and luxurious – plus the roof held the weight of Casey

The “downstairs”

There’s even room for Marley on the upper level! Plus a couch (not pictured).

The snow cave’s kitchen with Chef Casey serving up some warm vittles

Our “2 burner” stove

“cooking utensil”

“This altitude is getting to me…I can’t remember how to make tea.”

After a cold night it is time to head for that hot tub!

Skiing – the fast way down

What has happened to your legs Casey?

Our parting shot of the mountains
