Vail Ski Trip, 2015

Once Christmas was over, and we reluctantly reentered the grind again, I had only one thing to look forward to and that was our end of January trip to Vail, CO to celebrate my birthday.  As someone who grew up skiing in Beaver Creek on annual trips, I have a particular love of Colorado and skiing out west.  You simply can't get the same experience on the east coast.  I promised this to Aaron, and perhaps over hyped it a bit.

We arrived in Vail on a Wednesday and within the first hours of being in Colorado had seen our first bighorn sheep.  Not grazing the high peaks mind you, but gathered in a little sheep posse right outside the gas station where our Colorado Mountain Express shuttle had stopped to let the girl who puked in the back seat clean herself up.  There they were, like big horn sheep drug dealers just hanging out at the gas station.  Bizarre to say the least.

We were equipped this trip with some excellent camera gear, thanks once again to Aaron's folks.  I am excited as well to announce that I received a drone for my birthday that is compatible with a Go Pro, so I hope to include much more interesting footage in blogs to come.

Highlight of the trip had to be snowmobiling with Sage Outdoor Adventures.  The footage from that is included in the pics and video below...
