The View from the Ground

These are pictures of the town of Telluride as seen from the top of the ski lift/gondola.

This is the town that we live above and that Ari works in...We live at the top of the ski runs, the town is at the bottom. And, I promise that the angles aren't off at all, it really IS that steep! Luckily, I have never skied here...Honestly, I don't think I am good enough to survive these runs. Mt. Hood looks VERY tame in comparison, even the mountain that I skied in UT wasn't this intense!

This is the sun setting on the other side of us...the mountain peaks at the far left of this pic, (the one below,) are called The Wilson Mountains, it just so happens to be the mountain that is on Coor's beer ...(so I've been told anyway, I cannot stand beer!) You should see The Wilsons with snow, it's breath-taking...I'll have to post it again when the snow returns, NEXT MONTH!!! No, seriously, we get about four months without snow covering EVERYTHING...July through Sept. I'm trying to squeeze as much sunshine in as possible!
