[2013] Steamboat Springs, USA

The first time I visited Steamboat there were a lot of firsts for me. This time around there weren't as many, except for snoeshowing. It was very hard work though. Laying the track down was like being on a stair master but with beautiful surroundings. Poor Renni had trouble staying on top of tracks because her small paws kept poking through. I think the hardest part for her was going at such slow speeds, since she is geared to run.

Most of our afternoon was spent just lounging out on the deck with a beer and some nuts. We also went down the mile long driveway on a sled...it was almost like Swiss sledding ==> very dangerous. Another upside to winter sports here is we get to borrow grandma and grandpa's one-piece snowsuits!

Colorado is so blessed with sunshine, I can't help but be jealous since Basel is usually so dreary and grey during the winter. We only stayed for one night, but it was so relaxing that the long drive was worth it.
