A long way from the 200 vertical I grew up on in WI. Even my new home in CO will seem small. Everything about this place is huge! I will never forget the hospitality and most ridiculous skiing. Thanks for pushing me while keeping me safe. Day 1 was unbelievable – so deep and soft, I got my first taste of skiing in the white room.
