Trip to Keystone…

So in an amazingly ill-conceived plan, Tasha and I went up to Keystone Ski Resort shortly after I got home from Kangeiko.  Some of my work friends had rented a condo over the weekend and wanted us to come and visit.  We’re not skiers (yet) but we did want to go hang out and get away from things and maybe see some sights.  Tasha and I had committed to putting together dinner for our friends since we weren’t skiing, so that put a time constraint on us getting up there.

Regardless, the drive went uneventfully (and it was beautiful) and we got there about 45 minutes before the rest of the group got back from skiing.  I was pretty well exhausted by this time, with Kangeiko training catching up with me quickly so we didn’t get out to sight see before it was time for dinner.  After we all ate and hung out, it was time to head over to the Snake River Saloon to see Meniskus play a set.  The venue is an actual saloon and was really small and cramped.  The stage/dancing area was PACKED full of drunk skiers and snowboarders, even Meniskus’s manager said it was pretty out of hand.  We stayed for their first set and then headed back to the condo.

After a semi-comfortable night’s sleep on the fold-out sofa, Tasha and I decided to make it back home earlier than planned.  We stopped along the way for some pictures, however we both agree that the weekend was a bit of a bust and we should have gone up there when we had more time.  Next time I’d like to try skiing since it really looked like fun, but that may have to wait for a bit.
