Thanksgiving in the Mountains
With family scattered all over the country, it's been a few years since everyone has been together and at Thanksgiving. But thanks to United, JSX and Airbnb this is the year. And a group of 17 makes it a challenge to find a home large enough and with the right room and bed count. Fortunately, we found a lovely Airbnb in the Lewis Ranch community at Copper Mountain, about 75 minutes from Denver.


Our home for the Thanksgiving weekend.

Great layout.




To make it even better, we had private chefs from BreckChefs.com cater dinner each night. Wednesday night was Italian night.

And a birthday cake for someone.


Fresh snow overnight.




First time skiiing in 10 years.

Thanksgiving dinner.


Delicious.

Off to Vail
A gorgeous Friday morning in the mountains and we're heading over to Vail with the little grandkids.

Still not much snow here.



Let's head for the gondola and the cool ride up the mountain.




How the heck did they get this up here?






Time for lunch...

With prices matching the altitude. LOL



Heading down the mountain.




Back at Copper to return my rental gear, lol on the $70 honor system daily parking.

What a wonderful Thanksgiving with the family.
