Couldn't get enough mountains: Colorado

Vlad and I just got back from another vacation! This time to Colorado. Apparently, we couldn't get enough of the mountains in California. Living in Key West, we wanted to have a real winter though, and we definitely got it. We flew into Denver, rented a SUV and drove to Breckenridge for some skiing.

Actually,  I didn't take as many pictures as I normally do on our trips. Partially because it was FREEZING, so I didn't want to have my hands outside of my pockets for even one second, and partially because we were on skis for most of the trip. I actually planned to take a camera skiing with me, but I'm glad I listed to Vlad and didn't take it, because I fell so many times, I would have crushed it.

This was my first time skiing. I had a lot of fun learning, but left Colorado with a nice new collection of bruises. Next time will be better, but I will also definitely be getting hand warmers.

Breckenridge was a nice little town, our own little winter wonderland. 

We had a lot of fun there skiing and it's a pretty quirky place it seems like. But, it turns out there's not much else to do there besides ski this time of year. We went on the first week of the ski season, so there wasn't a lot of snow cover (according to other people, not me) and some of the ski slopes had not yet opened. So, there also weren't too many people in town yet. It was perfect for being out on the slopes, especially learning, and going SUPER slow without having to worry about other skiers. On the other side of things, it was pretty empty in town as well every night we went out.

We had a blast though, and now I can add Colorado to my list of places I've been. I'll be back next time and be more prepared. Probably deeper into ski season, because I've heard snowmobiling is pretty fun too...
