BeaverFEST

It's the 7th annual "beaverfest" where friends and family of Marco's flock to Beaver Creek to cheer on the worldcup and have an amazing time.  

This year everybody really outdid themselves with the Marco Rocks theme.... we had fanny packs, hats, stickers, foam fingers, and awesome signs.  Fun was had.

EXPERT: aka Marco Rocks

 stickers everywhere!! haha!

 Some Park City racers may have one-uped all of our posters with their amazing Marco poster!! Awesome.

 I forgot to mention that we even had a mascot... our very own beaver!!!

Rio and THE BEAVER.

 Chelsea the organizer sister extraordinaire of the whole weekend.  THANK YOU!!

 Tahoe girls!

Another great weekend at Beaver Creek! Thanks again to Chelsea, Trevor and the whole crew for putting on such a good show!!!

These weekends make me wish there was a world cup slalom in Canada!!! 

hiking

Today Mitch and I went for a mini-hike.  And, as usual, I was entranced by the Aspen groves!

Here's a few of the pics......

The base of all the aspens had crazy leopard-like patterns all over...

 The weather was in and out, cloudy and sunny... and very WINDY.

 Cool lookouts over Beaver Creek.

 winter flowers

 crazy clouds

 The valley

 And finally, on our way down.
