The Boedies are off and running - errrr skiing/riding - on the slopes. We were so bummed we didn’t get to ski and ride in MN that we took the first Saturday after we got back, put cleaning the house on the back burner, and headed up to Breckenridge for a BEAUTIFUL day on the slopes.
The parking lots were full when we got there at 10:00 a.m., but the slopes didn’t seem that busy. Lift lines weren’t too bad. The weather was PERFECT - 33 and partly sunny with a light breeze. It was actually balmy and toasty 
Since we don’t suck as bad as we did last year, we decided that our quest this year is to ski and ride all the blue runs at Breckenridge this season. Ya - I know - all you pros out there are on the blacks, but this is only our 2nd full season! We’ve had 3 days on the slopes so far, and we thought we were doing really well checking the blue runs off the list . . . however, it looks like we’ve only conquered 3 of them! In our defense, the first 2 days we were up there, not many of them were open, and even yesterday quite a few of them had caution signs indicating that grass and small trees were not covered by the snow . . . so we stuck to the ones that were pretty safe.
Now that we’ve got our legs under us, we even tried a few small jumps on some of the bumps - Dude wins the award for the most air caught - about an inch - and also the award for the best wipe out with a score of 7/10 for 2 complete rolls ass over tea kettle before he stopped We also skied 4 O’clock to town a few times so we could ride the snowflake lift - the kids love the bumpety bump in the middle when it turns 90 degrees. We discovered that OMG 4 O’Clock doesn’t suck nearly as bad when you know how to feel the edges of your board! But man did I sympathize with the new boarders that were trying to make their way down that run - I remember all too well how much it sucked to try to make it through the flat parts.
So anyway - we’re off and running and had such a great time up there! We can’t wait to go again
Score: 3 down 19 to go
