Beaver Creek

With complimentary day lift tickets for both of us at Vail/Beaver Creek ( thank you M's employers Ski co ! ), we drove over to Avon after M's day at work and spent a comfortable night in the Sheraton ( good value despite last minute booking and in middle of World Championships ).  Had one great day skiing in the only powder day Vail has had in last 6 weeks. Both events  -  Men's Super G and Ladies downhill training - in World Championships cancelled due to wind and poor visibility.

Jane and Johannes , and Duncan, Katy and Oliver arriving in  a few days.

This taken at Bonnies,  after the traditional Tues morning skin,  before we left for BC. Jimmy and Lee ( in town for a day )

And a few runs with them both on Ajax

This what they're now training the pro racers on with a ' virtual ' race course on the screen. M mastering the technique in the Exhibition tent at Beaver Creek.  Remarkable.

Normal weather service for 2015 resumed the next day - Boarding at West Buttermilk back in Aspen
