After we got checked in, we decided to walk around the village and see what's nearby. We've only been here a few hours and we are completely in love with this town. There's little layers to the town, everything sort of scales up the hill. Luckily for us, most of the restaurants we wanted to hit are a few steps away from our hotel- super convenient.
We walked over the the Avalanche bar and grill for lunch. (Thanks to Laura Fishburne for that!) This place was AWESOME. Totally a local's joint with a great bar and...yep, full of local ski bums. Heaven for us, really. Amazing food- good sandwhiches and burgers.. good beers offered, and it's right at the base of the mountain. The view is great. We talked to the waitress for a long time and she gave us a good local's inside perspective on places to check out further into town :-).
After lunch we walked across the cute little village area.. big fire pit, and beautiful ice sculptures everywhere. Love it! We found a little locally owned coffee shop that is AMAZING... i'm totally in love with it. It's called camp 4 coffee, and if you come up you have to try it. The apple cider was killer.
We made our way to the base of the mountain to check out the slopes a bit. We CAN'T WAIT to ride tomorrow, but we cannot believe how dry everything is. This has to be the saddest winter we have ever seen in the mountains! Regardless, we should still be able to hit some decent terrain. Looks like those DD's and that banana funnel will have to wait :-(
After I finish this little entry, we are going to make our way over to Maxwell's for dinner! It's the town's finest little wine and steakhouse. Pictures to follow :-) No snow expected until Saturday, which is when we are making our way over to Telluride.... say some little snow wishes for us, please!
xo!

**Dinner at Maxwell's was awesome (thanks mom!). Joey had the biggest steak I have ever seen in my life and I had some AMAZING salmon. Add DELISH wine and it was a perfect dinner. To top it all off, they gave us a huge bottle of wine with "congratulations" on it to take home :)
Wonderful.
