And the Award for First Moriarty to Visit Colorado Goes To ....

     Friday evening Eric and I headed up to Breckenridge to meet up with my cousin Steve.  Steve and his buddies had rented a condo for the weekend right on the mountain so of course we were going to take advantage.  Also this made Steve the first Moriarty to come visit Colorado.  That's right Moriarty family, I'm keeping track.  

     After a night of reminiscing, potent potables and trying to sneak into the heated pool, we were up and on the slopes before 9:30am the next day.  Though the forecasted high of the day was 1 degree Farenheight, we had a great day of riding.  The sun was out and the lines were short.  The upper bowls were open so we gave 'em a try.  It was my first time riding through some untouched snow and it was superb.
     Even though we got off the slopes around 2:00 to watch the Broncos game Eric, Steve and I were able to hit all 4 peaks.  Thawing out in the "half-time hot tub" during the game was a perfect end to a fantastic day of riding.
     Unfortunately, Eric and I had to hightail it out of there before the game was over to get back to Denver to meet up with Shannon and Jadelynn and so Eric could make it back for work.  We heard it was a doozy of an ending though.  Literally, we listened to the ending on the radio.  Needless to say Eric was a mess and on the edge of inconsolable.
     The gals are on their way from CT to Arizona and are stopping in Denver for a few days to break up the trip.  Also, John and Katie have arrived taking our house from 3 residents to 7.  Denver, Boom!
