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.	Alex and our freshly-shovelled driveway.  Note the letterbox 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.	Martin and our freshly-shovelled drive after the second snowstorm.
