Skiing in Colorado

February 11, 2012 @ 9:55 PM 8 Comments      

     Hi everybody! I’m in Beaver Creek, Colorado right now. It’s really awesome skiing here, my favorite skiing run is a black diamond called Stickline. There are a lot of obsacles in there like big rocks you can jump off, a creek, and a bunch of trees. I just went skiing for 5 hours straight, so right now I’m just chilling in my super big totally awesome condo. I get to share a bunk bed with my cousins. I’m at a really high altitude of 8000 feet right now, but when I’m skiing I’m at an altitude of 11000 ft. to 12000 ft.  High altitude gives me weird dreams and sometimes I get light headed because the air is really thin up here. I’m staying in a place called Beaver Creek Landing and everyday we either go swim outside in the heated pool, or we go play fuse ball and giant chess in the lobby. The view here is AMAZING, and the aspen trees are really pretty. Our condo is right by a ski lift and a gondola. We are going to take a break from skiing tomorrow, and maybe go horseback riding. I miss you guys, and I’m really sad I had to miss the Valentines day party!

Kyra (:

P.S. Random Question time! At what temperture does water boil at the altitude that I’m staying at? Remember, at higher altitudes there is less pressure!

    That sounds really fun. The black diamond sounds kind af hard. That is really high. Hope you have fun.

    The fastest I’ve gone is about 30mph. I go a little slower on harder runs because there’s lots of moguls and trees in the way.

    Hi!
    Going skiing sounds like a ton of fun!
    Does snow ever fly in your face when you go skiing?
    Is skiing fun or more fun than it sounds?
    Did you ever wipeout when you were skiing?
