It looks look we're all having a good time.  And this was before we got out the vanilla vodka.
The main part of the condo.
First day out skied Beaver Creek.  This is the top of Larkspur Bowl looking toward Spruce Saddle.  The first day out was harsh with high winds and cold conditions.
Below is a stitched shot of the same area with Dave's new digital camera.

As usual, Dave met up with his idol Stein Erickson for a few runs down the mountain.
Looking down on the Beaver Creek base area
Skied the second day with Peg.  Went over to Arrowhead.  Truly blue heaven over there.
In the afternoon Dave and Steve got me on the Bird of Prey Downhill. At the time I said I was going to give up skiing western double diamond slopes.  Getting old and all that stuff.  I've since changed my mind.
The next day we went to Vail.  Here's a shot of Peggi in in China Bowl.
