Winter Park, Colorado 5 January 2009

Caught shuttle bus to slopes. Distance about 150m as the crow flies but nobody walks in the USA, particularly across Interstate 40 which separates the hotel from the lifts.

Spent the morning mogul bashing. Very satisying but tiring on the legs.

Had lunch at the top of Mary Jane then spent the afternoon doing the blues of the Parsenn Bowl - the highest point open in the resort (3795 m). As the wind got up later in the afternoon, the temperature dropped to below -30 centigrade with wind chill.

Having completed vertical descent of 6570 m, Mark called it a day and retired to the hotel pool with fabulous views out over the slopes.
