One of my favorite memories is when all my family and I went skiing in Breckenridge, Colorado. We arrived in Denver a couple hours before dusk, so we went to Hertz and rented a SUV. From Denver we headed toward Breckenridge only stopping at a grocery store to get supplies. After dark we arrived to our lodge and started unpacking quickly. We then walked around exploring the town and you could feel the difference in air pressure. Lights lit up the slope and you could see the snow that was glistening, perfect for skiing.
The next morning we all took lessons for half the day to get used to the mountain because before this trip we had never skied on a mountain before. Lunchtime snuck up on us quick and then we had to decide whether we should do lessons the rest of the day or not. In the end we decide against more lessons so we could ski down any slope we wanted to. That night my dad arrived in Breckenridge from and meeting for work and we all were excited to see him.
The next couple days were spent skiing whatever we wanted to do whenever we wanted to do it. A lot of the time I, myself was up on the blacks diamonds which were fairly difficult. In comparison of Breckenridge to Iowa, our double black diamonds are just as hard as those blue slopes in Breckenridge.
Our second to last day was spent half skiing, but also after lunchtime we went on foot and toured the city. We rested ourselves a lot that night for the long drive and flight for the day to come. Finally on the next day it was time to leave, we drove back to Denver and caught our flight back to Iowa. Hurray! I was glad to be back where it was a little warmer. We had a ton of fun on our skiing vacation Breckenridge, Colorado.
