My family was in town at the beginning of January. Lisa and Nick flew in from Dallas and my parents from Michigan. We rented a house up in Breck and thoroughly enjoyed skiing/boarding, hot tubing, and most of all just being together. It seems so rare these days to all be in one place! A few highlights included watching the Discovery Channel Everest Season 2 dvd's (we all got hooked on the adventure), a heated girls against boys game of pictionary (the girls came out victorious!!), and an AMAZING 5 course meal in a yurt that included a hike and headlamps. It was so great....hard to see them all leave!
Dad was basking in the Colorado sun, enjoying the amazing views of the Rockies footsteps away from our deck, while wishing that he was on Everest.

It is Kim's first season with her own snowboard and a season pass. She's pretty stoked to "shred the nar" as the boarders say!

...all of the food is brought in via snowmobile and cooked over propane. I highly recommend this place. It is truly a unique dining experience....a 5 course meal, amazing teriyaki salmon, elk, lamb...all while wearing snow pants and winter hats, now this is our style!
We hiked about a mile in the snow. You have the option of cross country skiing or snow shoeing in, but since there was not a lot of snow we were able to hike. Shane took me here the day we got engaged and we decided it would be fun to have the whole family experience it.
The whole fam...Kim, me, Shane, Nick, Lisa, Mom, and Dad
