Day 6 - Breckenridge
January 31st, 2008 | Published in Monster Ski
What a great day to end the challenge on. The sun was out once again and most of the group were out in time for the first lifts. It was bitterly cold and windy today though. Temperatures at the top of the mountain were showing -30ºC and we even had reports of frostbite!
Stacy was determined to achieve her 150,000 vertical feet, despite her knee injury. She was already very close, just a few thousand feet away, so spent the day riding up and down on the gondola (complete with crutches) to bank the remaining feet! Tony managed to get back out on his board today to clock up a few thousand more as well.
By the end of the day all our Monster Skiers had managed to achieve at least the 150,000 vertical feet - everyone had worked really hard to do so. Of course the speedy stars of the show were John Nicoll and David Thornhill who ended on over 320,000 each! Rich, Alex, Mike, Nick, Jon, Chris, Brad and Ian all beat 200,000.
We met for champagne in the bar at the end of the day to celebrate everyone’s amazing achievements, then headed into Breckenridge early evening for our gala dinner. We’ll sleep well tonight!
