Finally Ski season is over with and the very next day after Melanie, friends and I packed our cars and headed out to Moab Utah for some everything but snow!!!!!!!!!!

The weather coming into Moab did not look to promising
We drank to Margaritas the first day in Moab because the weather was so cold and rainy

After the rain had cleared out the first day we all went out for a ride on the famous Slick Rock trail

Every night at the campsite we all would have the best of diners and drinks around the campfire

The Utah's sunset were choice

Our second day in Moab Melanie and I went to tour the Arches National Park.

Some of the rock formation were so cool to see on the drive through the park

Delicate Arch was my favorite one!

Fire side late night was our favorite thing to do

The last day all of us decided to do one of the most popular rides in Moab.

The start of our ride was 6 miles of service road to the trail head.

Melanie, Me, Jeremy, Petra, Janet and Eric along our ride.

The views on the rim was awesome!

Melanie and I had to finally say goodbye to Moab yesterday and head back to Vail just before sunset.

This morning I woke up to Vail once again looking like winter all over again. Today was a sad day being Vail last day of the season. I think I ended the Vail season with only 73 days on the mountain, Copper only 10 days, Beaver Creek 2, Breckenridge 1, Keystone 1, and A Basin only once. I'm pretty happy. can't wait for more!

Yesterday I drove to Denver to the beautiful Embassy Suites Hotel to attend a Nikon class for my better understanding.

The class was full of Nikon D80 Posers

The drive back Denver to Vail was really snowy on the mountain passes.

Today one of my best friends Nicole came up from Denver to ride for the last weekend of Vail. The weather turned out to be really nice sunny 50 degree day.

At the end of the day Nicole was launching off some hitters

Surprise! Vail last night received 3 to 5 inches of new snow. This could possibly be the last fresh snow day of the season, so I had to go get it!!!!!!!!

The temperature in the morning was colder than it has been lately.

The groomers are always hard at work keeping the trails in smooth conditions.

The back bowls are still in great shape.

Another guilty confession! Melanie and I bought Rollerblades a few days ago. Since the weather has been warming out down valley we decide that it was a great cross training opportunity.

Last Monday night after work Melanie and I went to Vendetta's for some drinks and pizza. The village that night was almost a ghost town, but we didn't care at all.

Today was Copper Mountain last ski day of the season. So after work today I drove over the pass to join in on the festivities!

The view of the mountain range that separates Copper from Breckenridge ski resort.

But at the end of the day Copper ended the season with live music and drinks at the base of the mountain.

This morning Melanie and I got up early to ride up on Vail mountain. The snow has been so great lately. Tomorrow is the annual pond skimming competition at golden peak. So check the pictures out on my next blog if your up for some laughs!

After Mel for work Nick and I rocked it like its hot in the terrain park of Vail

Yesterday after shopping Eastbound in Silverthorne we headed west out to Eagle to do some mountain biking. After hearing Mel crying about mountain biking for a week, I figured we needed to get it out of her system. The dirt was dry and the temperatures were cool and we had a blast riding the Bone Yard trail.

Mel found out the riding out here is a bit more challenging than she's use to, but she did a hell of a job!

All in all Melanie really likes Colorado's single track!

At the end of the ride I was happy to throw down some early season tracks in Eagle.

Guilty pleasures, but after all my years as a young punk skater yesterday I went out on a splurge and bought a skate board.

After not skating for almost a decade I could still bust out some moves! Shout out to Ryan Metzler, my old skate buddy!

Last Wednesday was the last street beat concert of the winter season. So Melanie, Nick and I all went to drink n listen to music.

Last Wednesday Nick and I got to do some after work riding. With all the fresh snow from the days prior it made all the best!

Today Melanie made her decision to buy a mountain bike. I had brought her to a couple bike shops around town. However she put the first prize on the Specialized Epic. Now all we need is for all the bike trail to dry up! Congratulations Melanie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
