My Missed Ski Trip =(

House in Steamboat, Colorado

The Fantasy Ski Team Official Pad
So pretty!

Fantasy Ski Team Gals & Myers (Minus Lalo-Cha) Ann, Merv & The New Recruits

(who were lucky enough to get FST shirts that I designed)
I did miss going on this years ski trip. Hopefully I will have things in order for next year.

Silly Drew! The annual wine cellar dinner (Ann to the side)

Myers was the one to end up in the ER this year! Foot injury. He should recover nicely.

Thanks for sharing pictures Chris!

I was told that I was missed dearly. Of course I was. LOL Still working on this knee so next year I can be all over that mountain.

I Need Some Beach In My Life!

Looking forward to some White Sands and Crystal Clear Waters...

Come on Spring Break 2010!

PS: This trip is replacing the Ski Trip.

I LIKE!

SNOW: BLEH

More Pictures from Ski Trip 2009

More random pictures of the trip. My camera was not charged for 85% of this trip. So I didn't get many of me actually on the mountain...of course when I found a connector I had already injured myself. So, you will notice some fun postcard pictures of my recovery room/condo. lol

Our first evening, Myers had organized a SEAFOOD dinner...my thinking was really?, we came to Colorado to eat Lobster? See the beach theme behind us? The food was alright, we had a long flight on the way in, so I was pretty tired at this point.

This was our traditional Bloody Mary drinking time at the airport. Yum Yum! This was obviously a very early flight, I am still half asleep! Randolph, Drew & New Recruit Cole at dinner!

Post injury photo...pretty icicles!

Just looking down below at all the people who didn't tear their ACL's! :0(

My Master Suite-All to myself! It did NOT suck!

A little reflective photography! It was a small loft, but yes very cute and pretty modern. The guys condo was more on the, That 70's Show era.

The snow really was beautiful and we actually saw some blue skies our last day! See it way back there.

Cedric the traveling gnome was anxious to go home since I was injured! :o)

Have a good weekend everyone, I have my appointment with the orthopedic surgeon on Monday!

Thursday Thirteen: My Ski Adventures in Aspen/Snowmass

1. Flying in/out of Aspen is nearly impossible, especially when flying UNITED {THEY SUCK}

2. Ski goers are very SNOBBY! 3. There is NO nightlife in Snowmass after 9:00 (even on a Friday evening and the XGames are in town...WTH?{Last Call} 4. Ski School is a waste of time if you are NOT over 60 and you HAVE skied in the past 40 years

5. A Hotdog and Cider will set you back $23.00 on the mountain

6. It snowed about 2 feet in 3 days which makes for great ski POWDER

7. Ski’s get caught up in POWDER and you get a ride down the mountain because you tore your ACL, another guy in your group does the same thing 20 minutes later

{Poor Bill never saw it coming either!}

8. $600.00 is the cost of XRAYS and a knee brace @ the clinic on the mountain

9. Drink heavily to forget the pain

10. One bedroom loft is $2300.00 for 4 nights, SERIOUSLY???
11. Bus ride to downtown Aspen is free and you even get a drunken college student’s slideshow of very inappropriate anatomy, imagine the movie STEPBROTHER, this was worse.

12. Eat cheese and crackers for lunch because your other “ski partners” are busy skiing while you are popping vicatin and icing your knee.
*


13. Return flight cancelled due to weather, pay another $150.00 shuttle to Denver, 4.5 hour drive to get to airport, rebook and recharged for luggage fee, eat dinner and go to gate to find out that flight has been cancelled due to mechanical problems. Rebooked to a later flight on another airline carrier. I was scheduled to be home at 4:00pm and ended landing in Houston at 11:30pm.

Let’s just say, Aspen/Snowmass is very pretty, but I’ll stick to Steamboat Springs!

~Apres Ski Round-Up~

Skiing in 6 Weeks To Be Exact!

My ticket is booked for my 2009 Ski Adventures with the Fantasy Ski Team

We normally visit Steamboat, Colorado. This year we are going to Aspen/Snowmass. I am so excited to get my ski on!

Yes-I know, most of you (Steph) hate the snow, cold etc. I for one, LOVE IT! Mainly when I get to ski in it during the day and come down the mountain in the early evening and enjoy some much needed/much earned Apres Ski Drinks! Ahh, there is nothing like sipping on some good ol'beverages with your ski mates after a breathtaking day on the slopes.

This will be my 4th year with the Ski Group!

~CHEERS~

Too Many Pictures Tuesday!

At the Greek Festival trying to stay warm and entertaining me. Yes I feed my children so don't be concerned that they both easily fit into one jacket. They are so gansta Yo! lol

My Masterpiece! :-D Very small picture of the Boy & the Girl @ The Greek Festival. It was probably 68 degrees outside which means we are freezing! LOL
