We went to Breckenridge with three other families last weekend. Our amazing babysitter gave us the use of her parents' house. It is a large 4 bedroom home a couple of miles outside of town. Breckenridge has recorded 362 inches of snow this season. This not only makes for amazing skiing, but also great adventures in the snow. The banks of snow around a house and driveway were astounding. The 9 kids who came with us were shocked, then delighted. When they were not skiing, they were busy tunneling through the 10-foot banks of snow, building their own covered slides in the mountains of snow and making their own X games extreme sledding run. In my childhood, the only time I had an occasion to tunnel through snow was after an historic blizzard in the 70s in New York. Living in Colorado, this will not be the last time they see snow like this, but it was definitely the first. Oh, and about the bear. Hmm....pictures are sometimes better than words.
