Alex skiing at Breckenridge. We spent a weekend here at the start
of December, courtesy of Martin's employer.

Just before Christmas we were hit with a blizzard that dumped
two feet of snow. Everything was shut down for a couple of days –
interstate highways, the airport, schools, offices, even the shopping
malls.

poking out of the snowdrift.

As soons as the highways re-opened we headed for Vail, where we spent
the next couple of days skiing. Here's Alex relaxing in the condo
we rented.

A week after the first snowstorm we were hit with another foot of
snow.
Here's the view from our back yard the following day.

The day after the storm Martin hiked up Bear Peak, just outside
Boulder.
The next few pictures were taken on that hike.
