It's been a great week. My sister was at Breckinridge with a bunch of people. On Wed I drove up to Breckinridge and spent the night at Andy's place. Tiger and Toby got along really good. Tiger liked Toby A LOT. It snowed Wed night and Thursday morning I met my sister at her condo and headed to the mountain. It was cold and windy but the snow was incredible. I felt myself coming down with a cold so I was feeling like crap most of the day. We headed straight for lift 6 and were the first to make fresh tracks under the chairlift. The mountain had some great terrain and the snow was deep. It was Andy, Matt (Andy's Bro) & my sister for the first few runs. After that we met up with my sisters friends and another dude. We were a group of 10 and amazingly we didn;t get split up or slow down. I was suprised. Right before we took a break i went off a rock and took a nice spill. Completly twisted up my knee. We skied pretty much the whole day and went to a crazy parade in town. Basically it was just a bunch of drunk people on floats.

I was feeling pretty sick and my knee was killing me so I headed back to Ned that night. Friday, I slept all day, took alot of drugs and my knee was shot. It sucked because my sister was in town and I wanted to ski with them.

Saturday I felt a lot better and so did the knee. Miss Gomez sent us some Airborne and I think it worked. I've never kicked the flu/cold in 1 day. Jeff and I headed to A-Basin to meet my sister in the afternoon. I felt good until I went off the first jump and completly tweeked my knee. It hurt so bad I had to call it a day. We had dinner at Liz's condo that night and we spent the night in a Walmart parking lot in Frisco.

Sunday my knee was still hurting so we decided just to chill out most of the day. We drove around Breckinridge looking for a place to snowmobile but basically ended up taking a nap in an empty parking lot we found on the edge of town. That night we went out to dinner with my sister and her group at Steak and Rib. Food was awesome.

It snowed Sunday night and we skied a half a day on Monday. Snow was great. A little cold. Knee was OK. I got lucky and picked up a ticket for $20 from the ski guy at the hotel. There was about 3-4 inches of new snow and my sister could only ski the morning because her flight left later that day.

All in All a great week. Thanks to Kim (Andy's wife) I skied for $30 on Thursday. My sister paid for practically all my food and I picked up a cheap ticket on Monday (which is good for another day until this Thursday).

PS. I'm done complaining about my knee

When you get a real job, I will completely expect to have you pay for all of my meals the next time around.
