Well I thought it would be warmer and I was wrong. The temp was below ZERO (-1) at 7am. We had a dusting to 1/2 inch of new snow overnight and the sky was overcast. As we were having breakfast, we debated going to the Rec center and exercise there. But around 10am, the sky brightened and even though it was still around zero, we decided to go to Copper Mtn to ski. Travelling over the Dillon Dam road you had mountains of snow on either side. And when we got onto the highway, the signs said that the passenger traction law was in effect from Copper to Vail. We get off right at Copper so this didn't have any effect on us. As we turned into the parking lot, you immediately noticed how empty it was. Again with the temp and it being a weekday, we had the slopes to ourselves. However, the temp took its toll on us and after several runs we went back to the cafeteria and had a HOT Chocolate and decided to call it a day. The high for the day at Copper was 5 degrees. Once home we were extremely tired and COLD. Even though it was Dam Brewery Thursday night, we stayed home and had Chicken soup and watched TV. Maybe tomorrow it will warm up.
