Well my trip is almost over. It has been a great trip except for my friend Trevor being sick Tuesday - today. He is feeling better now and even made it up for an afternoon of skiing. While here we met some Germans that are staying at the same resort we are. We have developed a friendship while we have been here. Today I skied with them all day (or at least until 2:30). We hit some great runs. Today the weather was really great, blue skies and very cold. When we came home from dinner the temperature was 14 degrees. I don't think it made it much over 25 degrees today. This morning I saw a fox running outside our condo, this fox was out last night too. The funny part is that both times I have seen it it peed on the same little tree. It must be marking its territory or something. We didn't see any moose today and Trevor is getting upset about that, it seems that he has missed all of the wildlife except for the fox. We ate a great little burger joint tonight. Just a counter that wrapped around the cooking area. There was grease everywhere and it was VERY unhealthy, however it was very good. That's about it, enjoy the pics below.
Here is our little fox.
View from the top of one of the runs. Note how far down the condos are on the left, that's where we take the first lift to get to the top of the mountain a difference of about 4,000 feet.
My new friends (from left to right) Leo, Karo, Michael and me.
Trevor finally made it up to the mountain today after being sick for 3 days.
Some spectacular views.

How long does it take that lift to get to the top of the mountain?
well you actually take two lifts. One gondola that takes about 10 minutes (it climbs 3,000 feet) and then another lift that takes about 10 minutes. That one climbs another 1500 feet or so.
Wow, too bad Trevor was sick all that time.
Did you wow your German friends with you German speaking ability?
And..... I can tell Merilee really missed you while you were gone.
It sounds like you had a blast. I want to know how long it takes to ski back down. What a great time!
To ski back down depends on multiple factors. One, how good of a skier are you. Two, which route do you take down (this is linked to the first factor). Three, are you in shape (i.e. how many breaks do you need between the top and the bottom).
I would say on average about 30 minutes to go from the top to bottom.
