Skiing At Copper
Kate and I went on a great trip to Copper 
Mountain in Colorado. It was a blast. We flew out on Saturday March 11th, skied two days, and returned on Tuesday March 14th. Since it was a spring break week, and since we booked the trip at the last minute, we couldn’t get a room at Copper. Instead we stayed at a Holiday Inn in Frisco (about 7 miles from Copper). The room was fairly nice and the hot tub was great after a long day of skiing. The best part was that it was close to Copper and to the town of Breckenridge. I’ve never skiied at Brek but I do really enjoy the food and shops that they have. It is a great spot for apres ski. Kate and I ate at a great little Chinese place; it now stands as the second best Chinese food I’ve ever eaten. The 
skiing at Copper was pretty good. It was a little chilly but we got about a foot of new snow on top of an 80 inch base. I was skiing on a set of Salomon 1080 Foils and a set of Nordica Beast 12s. They were both fantastic. The only problem was that I had quite a bit of pinching on the outside of my feet. I went to a place called SureFoot Boot Fitting and had my boots custom fit. They used a computer, a CNC machine, and heat to make my boots fit like bedroom slippers. It was expenisve but my boots finally fit like they are supposed to. Copper continues to one of my favorite places to ski. The woods were heaven with perfect powder. Since it was spring break, the green runs were quite busy but the blacks and double blacks were pretty empty and a ton of fun. I wish I had made it there earlier in the year but who knows, maybe I’ll make it out one more time for some great late-season skiing.
