Just got back from a lovely family holiday in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. It was so cold and snowy this year! There were 16 of us in our extended family group, and that was great to see everyone! We skied in the blizzard and fog, and in the freezing cold! The snow was light and powdery, thanks to the cold temps.
The trees never lost their snowy caps, because the sun wasn't out for very long and it never warmed up. I don't think it got above 20 degrees the whole time we were there.New Year's Eve is celebrated on the mountain by a torchlight parade and fireworks. The ski instructors hold flares and ski down the front face of the ski area. Fireworks conclude the show. Then we go to dinner at The Butcher Shop for a great meal and back home to watch the ball drop in Times Square.
Our traveling worked well this year-we managed to avoid the terrible storms and delays that plagued other places. Thanks to the family for such a nice trip!

You and Doug are our heros to tolerate those temps! Sounds like a great experience though; one we could appreciate from a lodge with a cup of hot chocolate.
