Any skiers here on TB?

I live about 2 hours from the big ski areas in Colorado, and have a time-share in Breckenridge. Nice place to visit any time of year. The town is at 9600 feet and the super chair drops you off at about 11,400 feet. The top of the mountain isn't a spot for heavy exercise.

At 71, I ski only a few times per year. The legs aren't what they useta wuz. I'm also fond of Snowy Range just over the border in Wyoming, as there are seldom crowds and once you hit 70 the lift tickets are free.
 
I grew up skiing regularly in New England and Upstate New York, and skiing with my brother and our friends was the most fun I had in childhood. But since getting married and having kids, I've only been a couple of times, and while my knees don't miss it, the rest of me definitely does! So I'm thinking about taking a day off and driving up to the Poconos for a day on the slopes. Might need to do it next week.
