My wife and I stayed in Breckenridge and went to Breck 4 days and Vail for 1 day. Great trip overall. Snow was plentiful and crowds non-existent. I will put the final week at Breck on my calendar for next year. Here are the pics:

Breckenridge - Peak 8 base - they are doing construction at both Peak 7 & 8.
Mandatory Lift shot - 10+ inches of powder on our final day
Powder Day! This was my first time in 10+ inches of powder. Wow.
Pow Pow - awesome morning.
Deep Powder - Where did my feet go?
Sweet powder - I miss it already.
This is what I-70 looked like on Fri April 17. We barely made it out before the highway was closed. Left Breck at 12:30 - arrived at Denver Airport area at 4:30. We missed our flight, but it was a great trip.
Here's a link to my Facebook album with more pictures:

I had never driven in those kind of crazy driving conditions. But I loved the snow...riding in it, driving in it, sitting the hot tub with it, looking out a window and watching it fall, etc.

Nice pics- I'm assuming the brown is from the dust layer that fell?
