Skiing! Just as we were starting to descend from the pass, we rode up to a ski area! My knees were pretty fried after lugging a few hundred pounds up to this altitude, but I can't resist skiing. I rented some short skis (easier on the knees) and had a blast. I just thought it would be a crime to be in Colorado at a ski place and not go skiing. I think April was very happy to wait in the lodge drinking hot drinks. Up at even higher altitudes, there was a serious storm that the lifts ascended into. I could tell that the strom was coming down the mountain. Finally, I realized that we needed to make a hasty retreat off of this mountain.
