Yesterday off to LA and Las Vegas
Departed Colorado yesterday, heading back to the west coast before heading home on Wednesday night.
Thank you again to Chris and Wendy for your hospitality while I was in Loveland, CO.
Arrived at Denver International Airport to light snow flurries. Final snow that I will see for a quite a long time.
Long wait at LAX for connecting flight to Las Vegas, which was running very late. Didn't arrive at the Bellagio until nearly 7:00pm.

Leaving Steamboat
I'm leaving Steamboat Springs this morning, heading back to Denver to stay with Chris overnight.
Tomorrow Denver - LAX - Las Vegas for a couple of days.
Currently overcast, still and -2deg C.
Heavy snow expected at Steamboat this afternoon and evening. Up to a foot of snow likely - just as I'm about to leave!!! Hopefully my flight departs before the forecast storms arrive.
Steamboat has been excellent, especially given the very bad start to the ski season. Had some great skiing on fresh powder snow.
Based on about 30,000 vertical feet of skiing on each day of my eleven days of skiing, I have skied over 300,000 vertical feet in total = 100,000 metres = 100km !!!!
Mt Everest is 29,035 feet (8850m). So I have skied over 10 Everest's

Final day of skiing at Steamboat
Had a big day for my final day of skiing at Steamboat Springs. Skied from lifts open to lifts close.
4 inches of snow during the day. About -2deg C. Blizzard conditions on the higher peaks. Excellent soft powder skiing on a hard packed base.

Day 5 of skiing at Steamboat - Only 1 ski day to go
One and a half inches of snow overnight on the mountain, none at the condos.
An overcast day at Steamboat. Temperature around 0deg C. Strong winds on the higher ridges and some lifts closed due to the wind.
Skiing was excellent on packed powder.
Skied another 31,000 vertical feet with Chris and had a great day. Really got my new skis carving today.
Sorry no photos again as it was overcast and grey.
Some more snow expected overnight, 2-4 inches, so hoping for another powder day for my last day of skiing at Steamboat, before heading back to Denver on Saturday and then off to LA and Las Vegas on Sunday.
Trip so far has gone very quickly and all to plan. Will be home at this time in a week.

Powder Day at Steamboat
Massive powder day at Steamboat. 11inches of powder in yesterday's cold front. A sunny but cold day, especially in the shaded chutes. Skied the famous 1, 2 and 3 o'clock powder runs in the morning.
