So I guess we are hitting the slopes…?!

 I enjoyed a trip to the mountains for work last week.  I have surgery coming up on my knee so decided not to press my luck and try skiing again.  Especially on a “real” mountain. So I took the chance to grab some shots as skiers got to the bottom.  I liked the way the snow was coming off this guy’s skis as he turned to dump off some speed at the bottom.

Then I decided I better head up too.  I took the ski lift on a “foot pass” meaning I could ride up to the top, hike around, take pictures, grab a bite, and head back down.  I was happy to be at nearly 7,000 feet since at home, I am on the highest point in Ohio at barely 1,000. ;) I even gained almost 300 feet during my hiking.
