The Friday 5: Vacation Edition!

6 simple happenings from the week worth celebrating.

Here's to nice people. Everywhere you go.

We've had a ton of questions ranging from gear, to getting places, to which runs to take and everyone is always eager to help, which makes you feel a little less of a doofus.

Here's to selfies at 11,400 feet.

What else is there to do during a 6 minute lift?

Here's to heated pools and pavement and crazy kids that still think it's warm enough to swim when it's 19 degrees outside.

Here's to cookies that are served at the bottom of the mountain everyday at 3:15.

This is just one of the reasons that Beaver Creek's motto is, "Not exactly roughing it", which I hugely appreciate.

Here's to mountaintop restaurants that not only have beautiful views, but the best tortilla soup I've ever had. ( I WILL figure the recipe out!)

Here's to fearless kids that propel themselves straight down mountains only to ask, "Can we do it again?!" when we reach the bottom. I, on the other hand, do not share their sense of enthusiasm.
