1st X-Country Ski of the Year

This morning we decide to head up to Lizard Head Pass for some fresh "Pow Pow," well as much powder as you can get xcountry skiing.  Of course we brought the Zdog and she had the crazy eyes. 


The pass was not groomed so we decided to go to Priest Lake.  The conditions were pretty good with a bit of ice and early season obstacles.  We had an excellent time and skied for an hour and forty minutes. 


We found this neat area with steep climbs and roller coaster downhills.  We nicknamed it Zdog's playground.



After skiing we drove to Mountain Village and rode the gondola down to Telluride for some food and Christmas shopping. We found that telluride is not the best place to find Black Friday deals. 


We ate at the Brown dog pizzeria.  We highly recommend the spinach artichoke dip. Unfortunately, I think we ate the calories we burned off skiing.
