Breckenridge

Yes, I know.  It's been a month since we went to Breckenridge and I haven't posted any of the pictures yet.  Well, it was an awesome trip.  Tony and I went with my sister, Hilary, and her boyfriend, Corry.  We all went skiing together last year in Snowshoe, WV and it was a great trip so we decided to head out to Colorado this year.  I have to admit that I was a little bit nervous.  I had skied 2 years in a row in WV but east coast slopes and elevations are pretty different from those out west.  I'm a pretty good skier but still learning and I am definitely not a dare devil so I was a little bit anxious to see how my abilities would transfer from east coast to west.
It actually wasn't as hard as I'd expected (either that or I'm just a bad-ass).  
Breck (as the locals call it) is a great town.  We stayed at the River Mountain Lodge which is ideally located just 2 blocks from Main Street and a short walk or shuttle ride to the gondola.  I will definitely go back to Breck in the future.
