I haven&#39;t done a trip recap, but the short version is the skiing conditions were less than ideal, but still incredibly AWESOME compared to the East Coast conditions we are used to skiing.&#160; My sis fell ill early on and spent most of the trip in bed with the flu.&#160; It snowed all day the first day and on the second day we had about 10 inches of fresh powder to ski in - that was an adjustment, to say the least... I couldn&#39;t believe how hard it was to control your skis.&#160; I was falling pretty often as I tried to ski the powder.&#160; Adam played it safe and kept to the groomed trails.&#160; The&#160;wind was just insane!&#160; The video I took below (from the doorway of the lodge) shows how crazy it was!</p> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00c225279d8e604a00f30f5b04c20001" at:format="large" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-large photo-enclosure" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px;

The skiing was fabulous, we even got to enjoy 5 inches of fresh-fallen snow&#160;on Saturday.&#160; And, much to our relief, Nicole&#39;s on-again off-agin boyfriend wasn&#39;t as annoying to have around as we had feared.... although, I&#39;m surprised my sister managed to find someone that actually takes longer to get ready than she does!!!&#160;
