Three of us headed up around 5:00 on Friday after school/work and met our hosts at a brewery in Idaho Springs for dinner and enjoyed a casual night at the condo the rest of the evening. We had a nice breakfast and got up on the mountain around 10:30 on Saturday. As long as we stayed on top of the mountain, we had really nice snow. And as expected, no lines at all! We came back and had a late lunch and enjoyed happy hour at the hot tub. D-man joined us Saturday evening and we all crashed early after a full day (and getting candy hidden).
Sunday morning brought candy hunting and breakfast. We had a surprise snow storm and found amazing powder in the top of the mountain. We skied hard and Copper might be my new favorite ski mountain in Colorado. We tried so many new places and just had a great time.
We came back to the condo for late lunch and the boys and I were able to enjoy the hot tub before packing up and hitting the road around 5:00. No traffic meant we were home in plenty of time to get ready for the week. It felt like a truly extended weekend - how fortunate are we????
