This past weekend Fisher and I made the four hour drive to visit my good friend Amy in Crested Butte. The drive brought clear roads and beautiful scenery which made for easy traveling. Stopped in Gunnison for a much needed fuel from Firebrand Deli before heading up valley to Crested Butte. They make some of the best sandwiches around that cannot be passed by. A short 30 minute drive brought us to Amy and her dog Daisy waiting in the front yard to greet us. Amy lives in a cute little house with a loft surrounded by huge snow banks right in the middle of town. It was great to see her and catch up. We spend a lot of our time together watching the crazy dogs play and cause trouble in the many many snow piles. Sunday, she took me out on the mountain skiing showing me the greatness that makes up Crested Butte. The snow was great with the sun in and out of the clouds most of the day before the snow moved in. The day ended with beers, a whiskey and coke followed shortly by yummy Thai food before bed. The next morning, we went snowshoeing with the Dogs on a nearby trail for a few hours. Despite the snowmobilers that had to rage by us, it was a very peaceful quiet morning with more blue sky and lots of sun! Then it was back into the car to head back to the Front Range.

The town of Crested Butte. It's a winter wonderland.

Playing in the giant snow banks! Hours of entertainment.
