Skiing was GREAT this week! We went up to Keystone, which is 135 miles from our driveway in Briargate. Traffic on I70 was a little grim yesterday due to fresh snow still falling (so who is complaining?), but the snow was fantastic. We tend to take guests to Keystone first because it has a great range of terrain that is "beginner friendly". My nephew joined us, and he progressed quite well from the greens to the blues. The other thing I like about Keystone is that the night skiing makes it less urgent to leave right away at the end of the afternoon. We stayed later one day, and it was very nice. College classes start back up next week for our kids, so this was kind of our "last hurrah" from their Christmas break.
Interest rates have dropped to around 5.75% as a result of the stock market softening. What a great time to buy, with tons of inventory, and low rates. This will not last forever!
