Walking the Walk -- or Driving the Drive

My last pre-Christmas post was a review of winter driving tips. Today, we are taking off for the Snowmass-Aspen area. Right now, the sky is blue, the sun is out, there is no wind and the fresh-fallen snow is beautiful, even on Colorado's Front Range. We expect good road conditions and excellent visibility today, but who knows what will happen in the next few days. I'll report on our drive (if it's worth mentioning) and about our ski escape.
