Telluride Winter Wonderland

Thanks to generous donors of Friends of the Orphans, a group of family members purchased a week in Telluride at the October fundraiser. The timing was right . . . sunny skies almost every day . . . perfect for skiing, tobogganing and snowmobiling. The skiers hit the slopes almost daily, and the non-skiers found virgin slopes to slide down. Carol and Sue almost crashed into some pine trees on one run, but managed to bail out into the powdery white stuff at the last minute.

Snowmobiling through the pines, across frozen creeks and up to a mining ghost town bundled in snowsuits was a unique experience. The balance of the time was spent eating delicious meals, playing Scrabble and Upwords, and putting together picture puzzles. Quality time, for sure!
