We've bypassed the amazing back-bowls of Vail for the more family oriented experience of Keystone, Colorado 40 miles to the east. The snow this year was miserable with a scant 38 inch base (and that was probably all man-made!). Still, we had a great time in the mountains, got a few runs in and put Dylan on skis for the first time (at 2 years old!). The best I can say is that he didn't hate it - and I think he's looking forward to getting back out there. In addition to the skiing we put the little man on a new pair of snowshoes - great for stomping around...and we explored a huge ice fort at the top of the mountain. One great aspect of Keystone is the night skiing - rare in Colorado. Michelle and I took turns in the evening, ripping a few solo runs without the little man. Overall a great family vacation - we're already planning another early January trip for 2013!
