Holiday Blizzard

As most of you have no doubt seen on the news lately there was a huge blizzard which hit Denver over the last few days. Here are a few pictures of what it looked like at my house.

A snow drift that was hanging over the edge of my roof.

Hoobastank Concert

We went to a Hoobastank concert last night at the Bluebird Theater in Denver. This was one of the best shows that I have been to in awhile. The Bluebird theater is a pretty small venue. Additionally it was an all ages show so all the underage kids were packed into the balcony. This allowed for a lot of room on the main floor so that it was comfortable and an easy opportunity to get right up close to the band. They commented that it felt like they were playing in somebody's basement and that's the kind of cool feel that the concert had. I much prefer this type of experience to a massive concert in the Pepsi Center. If you're in town and you have an opportunity to see a good band at the Bluebird I'd definitely recommend it.

Ski Season Starts

We spent our first weekend of the ski season up in the mountains this past weekend. It was great! They hadn't gotten much snow for awhile, but there were beautiful days and there was a good base. There is supposed to be some snow in the mountains early this week so as the snow continues to come down it should be a good ski season. This year we changed from the Copper pass to the 5 mountain pass to get some variety. We skied at Vail on Saturday and Keystone on Sunday. Every time I go to Vail I'm astounded at how big Vail really is, there is an amazing amount of skiable terrain there. It was a great start and I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season.
