Colorado Skiing for Thanksgiving Week

Thanksgiving week, we flew to Denver, drove to Avon, Colorado and skied Vail and Beaver Creek. We started at Vail which opened a couple days before we arrived. After a couple days there, the compacted powder was beginning to form some ice so we switched to Beaver Creek on its opening day. This gave us better powder. All week we had blue skies and sunny days. Although new fresh natural snow didn't arrive till the morning that we drove the 100 plus miles on I70 back to Denver, we had some great skiing. The week was so delightful that Valorie and KDB are both sold on our next ski vacation being out West. Incidentally, the day after we drove back to Denver, 275 miles of I70 was closed because of low visibility in blowing snow.
