more photos from vail






one day was really hazy and gray








floating skiers














i want one of those





on the second to last day my brother and i hiked out to another peak





it all looked like this













we actually ended up getting stuck in the woods for an hour and a half, because we went too low on the mountain, and missed the access road to get back to the base, and had to hike through a valley in 3 foot deep snow following a single set of ski tracks. the worst part was that when we got out of the woods at the bottom we hit a groomed section of trail, and thought it was the access road, and sat down and finished the gatorade i had with me. and then 300 feet later it went completely flat. it was horrible but funny in retrospect. a chairlift has never looked so good as it did when we finally reached the base.
