Sunday 03/15/15

Sunday 03/15 - It may have been a record temp day here in the mountains. The morning temp started at 24 degrees and quickly rose into the 40s and then the 50's. We took a ride to Vail after mass and as we went over Vail Pass at 10,620 feet it was 54 degrees. As we drove into town, it was 58 degrees. We parked our car in Lionshead Village and walked to the lifts. The outdoor restaurants were filled with people taking in the sun in short sleeve shirts. Our table had a view of the skiers coming down into a slushy bottom of the mountain. Not sure what the condition was at the top, but some of the skiers I talked to said it was GREAT. Tomorrow will be another day of record warm temps. If we are going to ski, it will have to be at 8:30am when the trails open. I hope I can get up that early.
