Aspen, CO

Our trip carried on from Mississippi to Lincoln, NE via Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. A one night stay with the Rok's family and we were on our way to Aspen. We picked up my old roommate Remy and his new roommate Steve, who was later dumped in Denver. Aspen was reached 11 PM Thursday night.

We rolled into Aspen for 2 days of intense skiing/boarding. It helped that we stayed with another old roommate of mine for 3 years, Mr. Benjamin Westfeldt, because we got discounted lift passes and equipment as his parents are ski instructors and he works at the ski shop at the base of the mountain. Our first day was full of powder thanks to an early morning storm. This made my falls a little easier to take. Remy went into his first day ever on ski's on Friday and by Saturday afternoon he was tearing up black diamonds. And the Rok repped AZ pretty solid.

Another benefit was some new construction on the base of Snowmass which had a place called Sneaky's. After an intense day it was a blessing to purchase multiple $3 pints of Blue Moon. By Sunday night we were back in Lincoln and ready to hit I-80 East towards Chicago.
