05 January 2013 - Vail, CO

Youhouhou!!! Today, I am going to Vail with my friend and colleague Jérôme. 
Take off at 0615 from home, all set for a two hours drive.

Vail, CO

We got really lucky that morning as we manage to avoid all the traffic and arrived in Vail at exactly 08:15am!!!

Weather was fantastic but really cold...

-1 degree Fahrenheit = -18.5 degrees Celsius

Curiously, there was really no-one on the trails, so cool!!!

View of Vail resort, the numerous trails and back bowls...fantastic!!!

Fields of moguls, that's great ride!!!

Beautiful Aspen trees...must come back in Autumn...
