A favorite place of mine is the Rocky Mountains, specifically in Colorado. Here I spent several childhood spring breaks skiing, snowmobiling, and drinking hot cocoa. The various ski villages were always something I looked forward to with its eclectic array of shops and restaurants.
Fantastic, Todd! The snow in Norman today is nothing to compare to the mighty Rocky Mountains. Maybe you'll want to do a class project on the folklore of that area; it's a story-ful part of the country! Here's a Rocky Mountain project someone did a few years ago; my favorite story was this one: The Legend of the Sleeping Ute Mountain :-)
ReplyDeleteThat picture is gorgeous! I always love to see other people's favorite places! I've been to Colorado on a couple of occasions! It is such a beautiful place! I have never been skiing, but I hope to get to go someday! I don't know too much about it though. Any suggestions on ski resorts or places to ski? I've heard skiing for the first time is always awful. Am I in for a terrible time the first time I ski?
ReplyDeleteMy family has always been a fan of going to either Copper Mountain or Keystone. As for lodging, we never liked resorts because it felt too tourist-y. We always would rent a house so that way we had more privacy. As for skiing, I wouldn't say it's terrible. It's just the learning curve. You won't hate the time, especially if you're learning with someone else, but you will probably get frustrated at times.
