Aspen, CO – What Does it Cost in the Winter?!

Aspen is supposed to be one of the elite ski resorts in the country, and you can tell because even in July (read, no snow), the hotel rates were outrageous. It was, however, really beautiful, and we’d like to come back during the winter when we’re rich.

That said, Jenn was not at her pinnacle of brilliance during a scenic trail ride.

Famous last words: “Hey Chris! Try kicking your feet out your stirrups – it feels really good.” 30 seconds later, Jenn’s horse tries to leap over a small creek, unceremoniously dumping Jenn onto the ground because the lazy bum didn’t want to get his hooves muddy. (Our guide helpfully explained this horse’s obnoxious distaste for mud *after* the mishap.)

Afterwards, we soaked out the aches and pains and injured pride in the natural hot springs nearby. Ahhhhhh…
