this is awesome. made it over to the swan mtn inn tonight and ready to ski all day tomorrow. the weather is perfect, not too cold and not nasty. saw the fam today; went over to stripmall land (littleton) after a day of crusin in the mountains near boulder and getting lost back near betty jo's tavern in some tiny town way back someplace. i almost wanted to stop and go check it out, but then thought otherwise. cruised through boulder as well; i look forward to gettin back out there later on this week to really be able to check it out cause it seems like a really cool town. fam seems to be doing pretty well. my little cousin mark introduced me to the newest fad with ten year olds - mighty beans. this kid has got tons of these little weighted plastic capsules and was happy to explain alll about them, their history, their worth, etc etc... this inn is great! hot tub, cool atmosphere, friendly folk, internet, movies, and apparently kickass food. i'm sooo glad i came out here.
