Life at 9,900 feet

Since Accenture has allowed me to take such a huge step and take a leave for three months, I have decided to create this sweet little blog. I am creating this mostly because I know these next three months will fly by and other than only remembering that I skied a little, I want to make sure I remember as much as possible. I'm not sure how these next couple months will play out or even the next year or two following, but one thing is for sure. This experience is definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Big Day

This is going to be short and sweet, since I am pretty tired.  After two days of hanging in Denver with Dan, I decided to wake up early and really test my ankle.  I started skiing at 8:45 and by 1, I had skied 30,000 vertical feet.  I skied until 3 and ended up with 39,226 vertical feet for the day.  Definitely the most vert I have ever done in one day.  The ankle of course is hurting after all of this, but I was happy my legs could last that long.  Below are some more stats from today, since I love numbers.

Number of lifts rode: 31
Fastest speed: 60.4 mph
Distance traveled: 40 miles exactly
Amount of time skiing: 2 hours 13 minutes
