The Brantleys and daughter & our friend Courtney came to party in Summit this weekend. 'Court' is in CO sequestered from Georgetown MA work and it was great having her come to Silverthorne for some nosh, wine, conversations and hiking. We broke Friday with some nice Scott-catered vino and Dave's fra 'd avlo... yummy. After breakfast at the Nest we hit the snow-packed trails in the Arapaho NF. We trekked sans snowshoes and donned boots and micro-spikes or yak-traks. Coming down from above Dillon Rez and Frisco the leaders did posthole through some big drifts to get back to civility. Of course we stopped at ORB and later had great Margaret fish tacos. Ultimately the Nest Theater was put to test on multiple occasions - to approved curated notions. And, we caught opening day at the Ice Castles with Peggy's foresight - alsway cools - we all rode the "adult" slide but Kala was the slickest. Great weekend weather and friends.
Plus, what's not to like about a wine-themed exchange with Scott - he'll sport a resveratrol t-shirt and enjoy some of Edgar's tempranillo and I scored a fine pinot noir, one of my favorite grapes... Merry Christmas.
