Durango, Colorado

























We had so much fun skiing in Breckenridge last year that we decided to plan an annual ski trip. This year we decided to go to Durango and it was amazing!! We rented a ski in-ski out and it made the trip so much better. Our back porch was on the ski run so we could go out, ski for awhile, and then take a run to our back door. Sharon, Colleen's mom, can't ski because of an injury so she took really great care of us all week. We'd get back from skiing all day and she'd have dinner ready for us. She's an awesome cook. The skiing in Durango was great because they have two sides to their mountain and tons of runs! Even the wait to get on the lifts was super short. At lunch time when most people take a break to eat we'd go out and ski and literally there would be almost no people on the mountain. Riley and I skied the back side of the mountain the whole last day. We ended up on one lift that took us to the highest point on the mountain. I was so scared! It looked like blacks were the only way down. Luckily, that was not the case. The ski resort has a sledding hill that was also a lot of fun too. Other than skiing and sledding we played games, watched movies, and hung out in the condo. On New Year's they had a firework show that was amazing!! I love fireworks and watching them with mountains as the backdrop was beautiful. The first night we decided to eat out because it was late and for whatever reason agreed on a Mexican food restaurant. It sounded good, but why a group of Texans didn't realize that eating Mexican food in Colorado would be a bad idea is beyond me. It is definitely not a place we will be returning ;)
