Lets go Skiing
I started skiing in 1986 and loved it immediately. I skied once in
1986 and once in 1987 then stopped. I kept saying that I would
go next year, but next year never seemed to come. Finally, in February
2000, next year arrived. I took two trips to Winter Park in the
2000 season, three days of skiing each trip. I'm hooked and plan
on skiing every season for as long as I am able.
Winter Park Colorado
This place is awesome. They boast the most snow of any resort in
Colorado. They have lots of trails in the full range of skill levels,
from very easy greens to very difficult double black diamonds.

Jackson Hole Wyoming
I have not been here yet, but it is supposed to be a really nice
place. They do not have very many easy slopes, only 10%. 50% of
the runs are expert and 40% intermediate. I am hoping to go
there sometime soon.

Devil's Head (Merrimac Wisconsin)
This is the first place that I ever went skiing. It does not even
come close to the places above. It is, however, decent
skiing for the midwest. I have skied here twice, way back
in 1986 and 1987.

Hidden Valley (St. Louis, Missouri)
This is a small resort in Missouri. It isn't much, but it is the closest
place to where I live.
