Living at the base of The Rocky Mountains, is a blessing beyond compare for me. I love visiting friends in Vail often. It is such a beautiful place. Snow is cherished and coveted at times (like right now.) The beauty of the evergreens coated in white blankets is second only to the gold leaves lining the mountainside in Fall. Whether hiking, skiing or just have a glass of wine while looking out a window at this picturesque landscape, there is something for most everyone to love about Colorado. The people are athletic and friendly here. You don’t see a lot makeup or fuss on the slopes. I love that. Below you can find pictures of Vail. The picture of the skiers is from my college days - me standing with dark hair. My brother and I “teaching” my sister-in-law how to ski or fall gracefully!?
