And play we did. We called the Super 8 in Salida our home for the week because it's very close to historic downtown Salida and on the main drag for each access up to Monarch mountain. The place has a kickin' continental breakfast with some tasty pre-made french toast, bagles and powdered doughnuts! All we needed prior to a day of fun.
Salida is a blast itself being 20 minutes away from the slopes, it has pleny of bars with great CO brews and restaurants with good eats. There's even a sweet bike shop for all your needs - including the repair of my broken spoke!
Sun - got into Salida about 5am. Slept until 10'ish then took in the fantastic singletrack! (Yes, the picture to the right is a rose between two thorns!)
Mon - chose to avoid the holiday lift lines and hopped on the bikes again - more singletrack!!
Tues/Wed - Ski'd in the fresh new powder. The snow just kept coming Thu - We were back in the mountains outside Salida on the singletrack.
Fri - Pulled a double today. For the first time in my 2 years going to Salida we actually got there before the lifts started. Ski'd until 1pm. Then went back down to Salida to ride the trail again. What a day!!!
Now it's back to the real world
