Getting Excited for Hut Trip

The beginning of December I spent 2 hours skiing High Drive and that’s the extent of my skiing so far this year. I was going to try getting out last weekend but I still wasn’t feeling up to it after the flu. Sunday I’m skiing in to the Eiseman Hut for 4 days of skiing. I know I’m going to pay for not doing any other skiing this winter but I’m still getting excited. Sleeping at 11,180′ for 3 nights should boost my oxygen uptake though. The out there blog had this picture of Vail in a post today. Yes, there is a skier in there. The Eiseman hut is just across the valley from Vail and at night if it’s clear you can see them grooming the runs.

I haven’t been up to Breckenridge this year but the Snow Sculpture Championships were recently. Other years I’ve happened to see them when I was headed somewhere. Check out the pictures. In the background of some of the pictures you can see buildings to give you some idea of how massive the sculptures are.
