Denver 08 : Day 2

We woke up super early to take the train to Winter Park. The weather today was much colder. The bone chilling wind hitting us on our trek to the station was just a taste of what was to come.


We arrived to steady snow fall. Steps from the train was the lodge and slope.


We wandered the lodge area and checked out the stores. We were on a hunt for better snow shoes for Maya. The ones that Pan bought did not fit too well with her snow outfit. With not much luck we too one the the buses, which were free, into town.


After a forgettable BBQ lunch and snow boot shopping, we went a few blocks up to a park for sledding. At this point, it was snow a bit harder.


The park (playground) had free sleds. There were kids of all ages sledding everywhere.


Pan and Maya did a few runs with the help of Eee, while I took pictures. It was all smooth until Eee pointed the sled to a bump (mini jump) where pan and Maya tipped over. Nice Eee. After that, Maya had enough.


Feeling left out, I had to talk Maya into one more run with Daddy. Needless to say, I pointed us in the right direction and it was a smooth ride.


Still the snow was coming down. Perfect for snowboarding [tear]. We were all cold and over the snow. I guess we are now San Diegans.


On the way back to the bus stop, Eee repeatedly fell on his ass. LOL. Still funny every time I think about it. Karma.

We wasted time at the lodge until the train arrived. Everyone was exhausted. I forget how much cold and high attitude can take from you. The train was nice and warm. The 1554, nice and cold. Is there anything better than a cold beer after a exhausting day in the mountains? [Burp]
