Thursday: Class from 9-11. Then I packed up. I washed my truck, vacuumed it out and cleaned the dash board. My truck has not been cleaned since I left Ohio in August. My dash board had seriously a 1" thick layer of dirt! Carrie and Abdul kept calling me telling me that their flight had been delayed. So finally at 3:30 I left, they should have been here at 2! I filled up with gas~$1.99 and window washer fluid. It took me over 2 hours to get to the airport (over twice the normal time). So we then headed to Copper. After trying to get to Bass Pro Shops off 70 on Quebec Street, well needless to say, we failed. So we kept on "truckin'" we stopped to eat supper in Idaho Springs at Wildfire Cafe. We arrived at Copper around 10:30.
Friday: We woke up, the temperature was -8 (without wind chill factored in), 45 mph winds. It was frigid. No skin was allowed to be showing or you got yelled at by the lift attendants. Lifts were being shut down up at the top because of the wind. The conditions were powdery but white out conditions. My ankle strap broke up at the top and I had to slide down on my heel edge half way down the mountain, talk about burn! Anyways I got my snowboarding "wings!" Yeah:)

(the Coppercade)Saturday: The wind died down, the temperature rose, the snow stopped and the sun came out! I skied today and it was a great day! Carrie and I walked around the village in the evening and did a little shopping. While walking we discovered 1/2 off RMCF-Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory-caramel apples-and let me tell you they are not just any apple, scrumptious! Plus they gave us chocolate covered strawberries to walk around with. MMM, MMM good! Carrie and I also went over to the hot tub and relaxed for a bit.

Sunday: We woke up early and hit the slopes again. Abdul and I skied the back bowls-Copper, double black diamond, EX-expert terrain only! What an adrenaline rush, to look over the edge was seriously a straight drop off- 90 degrees. CRAZY! Carrie, Abdul and I had so much fun skiing and boarding this weekend. We headed back to DIA around 12:30. We stopped in Frisco to eat lunch at an all natural foods store and then got coffee in Idaho Springs. I set mine on my dashboard and went to do a U-turn. The coffee flew into my eyes and all over my nice clean truck. When we got back into Denver we finally made it to Bass Pro Shops. Abdul got a Buck knife, some things for camping and a leatherman. Carrie got a really cute pair of shoes. And I got my knife sharpened and cleaned. I dropped them off at the airport around 4:20 and got back up to Fort Collins around 5:30. I unpacked, did laundry, caught up on the net and started in on homework. I then studied for my econ test. And cried to my good friend, Ryan.
(Carrie and I in a huge Adirondack chair)Monday: Class 9-3, 5-7:15. Today as in the the last day was not the greatest. I didn't do that great on my econ test. I missed a homework assignment and quiz in Live and Dead on Friday that I can't make up and I forgot my chem folder to turn in my lab assignment. Thank god Nicole brought it for me. Then got up in cahoots with people. I hit up the gym in the middle there to relieve some major stress. Ate some supper and was highly disappointed that What About Brian was not on.
I have a pretty busy week so I may not update that often. Meetings, school, work, tests, homework, skiing, scholarships and projects.
Any questions ask me~:)

I lived in Colorado for 5 years until recently. Reading your post made me home-colorado-sick.
Looks like you guys had fun. Wishing I was snowboarding...
Anna, we had soooo much fun with you last weekend. I miss you already! You were awesome at snowboard (and skiing too, but I already knew that!). I can't wait to visit you in Colorado again soon!
