Reprint from SKI Magazine October 2009

Where should I start ...

I got a call that someone wanted to know if I had written an article in SKI magazine ...

Here is what was printed in the Liftlines section:

When my family decided to travel out West for our next ski trip, we determined that Breckenridge would be our best option. That decision proved to be right. Waking up to the vista from our hotel room's deck was surperb, but even better was getting a ride directly to the Peak 9 base area, from which we were able to reach the top of the mountain before the groomers had finished their morning routes. On our Eastern skis, we were flying down intermediate slopes. As we ventured higher to ski Peak 9 and Peak 10, we encountered Spitfire, a narrow, steep, and challenging run. The skiing was great, the trails were long, and the rides back up were fast. From the summit, Copper and Keystone appeared and the trek along the Whale's Tail into the North Bowl can only be described as memorable. Now that we know where the skiing gold is buried, we will have to find our way back to Breck as soon as we can.
