Copper Mountain, Day 1

Yesterday we were up super early so we could head out and get our flight to Denver. Got there in plenty of time, got on the plane (saw a couple of other families heading to Nationals), had a smooth flight and landed in Denver on time. Our bags were off the plane pretty quick, we just had to wait for the snowboard and skis, then we grabbed some breakfast to go and found our shuttle.

It was a nice drive up into the mountains west of Denver. The shuttle driver was very chatty so we learned a few things about the area. We drove through some snow showers, lots of sun.  After we checked into our condo, we got Whitney registered and checked in for the competition.

Copper Resort is a tpical ski resort town. We don't really see many like this in the East so I guess it's a tpical western ski town. There's a small village of shops with condos on top, a conference center, and lots of restaurants and walking space. We wandered around a bit yesterday, took a nap (it was a long day with the early morning and time change), and went out to dinner. Our condo has a balcony so we spent some time out there watching the ski lift and the minimul action in the plaza outside .

More fun coming up!
