So, now that I've got my ski legs after two years, why not jump right in and use 'em? And since I'm working in Denver, it's pretty simple to drive over to Vail for the weekend.

1 Vail Bar Chris knew all the cool bars in Vail (or everywhere for that matter). Here's Elana, myself, Chris and Alexis enjoying a night out after a tough day on the slopes. Elana missed the ski day due to problems with her flight.
2 Vail Sorry for the blurry picture. That's what you get when you hand your camera to an unknown and unseasoned (and possibly intoxicated) photographer.
3 East Face of Arapahoe Basin No wonder it's off limits.
4 Mike at East Face Entrance Am I crazy? Actually, Chris is crazy for talking me into doing this. There's a reason no chairlift even goes this high.
5 Hiking to the East Face Maybe Chris is accustomed for the altitude, but I wasn't. He had to pretty much carry me to the summit.
6 Mike Skiing the East Face Yes, I really am that crazy.
7 Mike on the East Face Almost down the East Face, and in one piece too!
8 Elana Snowboarding You go girl!
9 The Beach At A-Basin, everyone backs up to the bunny slopes, opens the truck bed and hangs out on the bottom of the slopes. It's like a massive party.
