Day 1 @ 10,500' AMSL

Here are a few pictures from our first day of skiing at approximately 10,500 feet above mean sea level.  You might notice a theme.

For the record, we live at approximately 150 feet above mean sea level, and at elevations roughly 10,350 feet higher there tends to be slightly less oxygen.   Oxygen it turns out is very helpful when you are exercising.  Or, you know simply walking, sitting, eating, moving, living, breathing ... what not.

Our house was on the top of the ridge, 100 feet away, but as evidenced from what appears to be a slope side crime scene, the children weren't able to make it back.

And .... that concludes Day 1 of our Colorado ski adventure!
