A Snowless Colorado

Cory and I went to Denver the weekend before Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We were hoping to get a weekend of skiing in, but Colorado has gotten very little snow this season. We did end up skiing at Copper Mountain on Friday afternoon for a few hours.

It was a little icy, but at least the sun was out

The highlight of the day was sipping on a warm Baileys and coffe in the lodge and realizing that Copper was indeed celebrating MLK Jr. Day - with a giant picture of MLK Jr. beneath a disco ball.

There were a few of these decorations around the bar - here's to MLK Jr.!

Since skiing was a bust, we decided to drive to Boulder and check out the Avery Brewing Company. We sampled a variety of concoctions.

Don't worry, we had Beaker (my friend from college) with us too - these aren't all ours

Watching beer settle can be very zen

We wandered around the streets of downtown Boulder and enjoyed the warm weather, then headed back to Denver for the Broncos playoff game. Denver was out in force to root for Tim Tebow (who you'll know I'm not very fond of if you read my last post). Unfortunately for the city, the Broncos crumbled fairly quickly and the Patriots ran away with the game.

It was a sad night for Denver, but still fun to be in town for the big event.
