Today we caught the shuttle bus from Snowmass to Aspen. On arriving at the base of Aspen Mountain I had one of those "oh s***" moments when I saw how steep the vertical drop was to ski back down! Aspen is predominately black runs and whilst I am happy to do a black run here and there the combination of narrow, mogul, steep, tree lined runs doesn't fill me with excitement! Despite having a helmet - which I didn't wear today is it was too hot - I am still cautious when you throw all those things into a ski run!
As it turns out there was just enough blue runs to make our day trip well worth it and coming down the mountain once you are on it wasn't at all scary. I even hit a few moguls - not well but I am still in one piece!
Tomorrow is our last day at Snowmass - despite a free nights accommodation we have decided to play it safe and stay in denver Saturday night so we don't cut it fine for our am departure to NYC.
I am really looking forward to New York - it's a life time ambition realized and every Yankee I have told so far says "whoa are you in for a surprise!". I hope so!
