Having had one day taken away by the weather, we wanted to make the best of the time we had left by taking an extra day of skiing at Winter Park. This ended up being a great decision as the weather was perfect for skiing.
On the way to Winter Park, BlueBerry mentioned that Google was an awesome place to work because of the free food they provided and how he loved to drink blueberries because they were the best berry. He also mentioned that there was no point of going out to eat because the food was worse than the food Google offered and he had an amazing DS that did everything but cure cancer.
As we got closer and closer to Winter Park, the thermometer in the car kept dropping until at one point, it had reached a temperature of -19 degrees Fahrenheit. At Winter Park though, it didn't feel nearly as cold. Catnipped and I again split off to do the green trails while BlueBerry and jOrange went to tackle something more difficult. Perhaps it was the time spent at Frisco mansion, perhaps it was the lack of sleep, or maybe I had just run out of my quota of falls but Winter Park was totally awesome. I only fell once as Catnipped and I ran many of the lower green trails. We actually did the trails in less than 10 minutes and had time to explore almost every green trail available to us at the base of the mountain before lunch. I had finally learned the art of turning and put it to good use.
After lunch, we all decided that all four of us should do a run together as a final hoorah for our last day of skiing. We took several lifts and green trails all the way to near the summit of the mountain. Once there, we all took one giant trail (Village Way) all the way down to the base of the mountain. The run took over 2 hours, but it was really fun. I only fell about 3 times the whole trail. jOrange was taking pictures and movies the whole time.
The trip home from Winter Park was uneventful. Upon getting back, we finished up the leftovers, cleaned the linens, and packed in preparation for our flights out of Denver the next day. BlueBerry was the first to take off as he had a 12 am flight. Returning from the airport after sending off BlueBerry, we finished up the remainder of the laundry and went to bed.
