Fourth day at Vail Mountain

Back at Vail Mountain. Not wanting to spend over an hour working our way towards the back bowls we took a bus to Vail Village then walked to the Vista Bahn lift. We took that and tried to get to the back bowls as quickly as possible. Unfortunately the snow was still terrible, hard and crunchy. We slowly worked our way back to Blue Sky Basin where we spent some time in Pete's Bowl. The enjoyed those runs the most.

While working our way to Two Elk Lodge for lunch we decided to give China Bowl a try. That was really nice too but the clouds were moving in and it was getting more difficult to read the terrain.

The highlight in the afternoon was when The Marks decided to give Hairbag Alley a try. Lily and I decided against it as our legs were already tired. It took the guys forever to get through that run.
