The Noonans and the Welus. We met again this year for lunch. That Wyatt and Sylvie are so d___ cute!! We are hoping that next year they will be able to meet us for some skiing as well as chow. By then, Wyatt might be able to rock that helmet while ripping on the mountain.
Our hotel, The Great Divide Lodge, which was ski in/ski out. The above and below shots were taken from the same spot. Bob took the first, did a 180, then took the second.
Top of the Imperial Express Lift, which is the highest ski lift in North America. The Imperial Bowl was one of our favorites this year. A couple days we had awesome conditions. One day however, Bob got caught in a slide that carried him for about 60 feet. Nothing major, but a little unnerving non-the-less. All week we kept hearing reports that the conditions were ripe for avalanches. We usually think that the warnings are more for those skiing back country, because the resorts do so much Avi blasting. But...three guys actually got caught in an avalanche in one of Vail's back bowls while we were there.

Tonia and Liam after an amazing Italian dinner. We had a mild panic when we couldn't find our favorite Italian restaurant. Turns out they moved.
One day at the top of the Six Chair the wind was so strong that when I got off the lift, the wind pushed me back toward the chair. After that we decided we needed a little chill time in the warming hut. Bob took the above picture as my pole was flying away.
I don't, as a rule, like to have a beer until I've have finished skiing for the day, but on occasion I'll take a sip of Bobby's. It seems like every time I decide to take a sip of his beer he snaps a photo. To look at our photos from the past several years you would think that I really tie one on when skiing.
