Another Steamboat Day
Skate Skiing Through Multi-million Dollar Mansions
Today we did a bit of skate skiing, this time around the Steamboat Nordic Center, which doubles as a golf course in the summer. It is surrounded by huge luxury mansions, almost all of which appear unoccupied. They are fifth homes for the uber rich, there is a lot of money around here, far beyond the imagination of the average person. Note the pit dug into the snow in the foreground. This was done by elk wandering through the course.
Anyway, we skied about an hour on this course which is a bit more difficult due to the ups and downs. GPS track shows our route around the course:
There is a gap in the track where I turned off the recording while we took a break and forgot to turn it back on for about 5 minutes.
After our ski we rambled up to Strawberry Hot Springs, which I wrote about last January, we visit Strawberry most trips up here. It was a relaxing soak in the winter air.
We then went to Mambos, our favorite Steamboat Italian restaurant for pizza and a beer:
Afterward we retired to the fireplace at our condo to relax with some wine. More fun awaiting tomorrow!
