The Best Snows of the Year in Breckenridge

Snow has been falling pretty constantly in Breckenridge  since Tuesday night making for excellent skiing. The groomers have been out nightly so when the snow continues it is nice soft powder on top of those groomed trails.  I got in about 3 hours of skiing yesterday. It was cold on the lifts with the chilly temps below the teens and blowing snow.

It is always fun and therapeutic to get into the hot tub for awhile after a day on the mountain.  After freshening up we were off to last night's dining selection at Blue River Bistro.  Lynn and I had their trout selection.  Lynn had the Ruby Red Trout and I had their special trout that was encrusted with walnuts.  Both entrees were delicious. We had a great Malbec wine from Argentina with our meal, but the highlight for me was the Snickers Martini that I had as an after dinner drink. Just great. Dining is always a big part of our trips to Breck. This small town has one of the largest percentage of high quality restaurants of any that I know of.

Happy Valentines Day everyone. We are taking the wives to The Hearthstone tonight. Dining is in a beautiful old Gold Rush days home and the ownership, chefs and staff  have been there forever. The Hearthstone has been our favorite restaurant in Breckenridge since coming here the first time in 1996.
