We took a ride by Colorado Mountain Express to get to the house we had rented. It was originally for ten people but four of them had cancelled their trips and another two still to arrive.
That night we went to Keystone for night skiing. Didn't enjoy it too much because not many trails were open and it was much colder at night. Besides, I was exhausted.
The next day on Vail was the best day of my trip.
We finally got to enjoy the good part of the blizzard: Great snow! I quickly realized the best powder was on the top so I didn't bother with the trails below the mid-mountain and enjoyed those blue/intermidiate trails as much as possible. My favorite trail was one called "Cappuccino", which was short and bumpy, with deep powder and a few trees. It was very interesting but not physically demanding, exactly the type of slopes I liked.
People were very creative about the names of the slopes. An "entry-level" black diamond slope called "Look Ma" was everyone's favorite. I guessed people who came up with it were so satisfied with their creativity that they named the slope next to it "South Look Ma" and a food court at the end of the two slopes "Look Ma's".
I was so excited about the snow that I didn't stop skiing except for the lunch. I managed to get on the last minute lift to the Mountain Top and started my last downhill run on Vail.
By the time I touched down the base, I could barely stand.
