You can see other boarders here. There were a lot more snowboarders than skiiers. I haven't noticed such a big difference in Colorado. The sky was pretty. It's too bad the slope wasn't facing the sun for sunset though, it would have kept it warmer for longer too.
I liked the way the shadows were falling in this picture. You can see a little bit of snow on the hillside in the distance, but they got almost 1 inch of natural snow as opposed to 10 inches of man-made snow. Either way, the conditions were pretty good with very little ice.
This is the view facing toward the Bunny Hill. I actually rode that once and took the lift, but it sure was short, so I decided to head back over to the Mt. Mansfield run.
Another chairlift headed down, although we were actually stopped in this picture. That made it easier to get the chairlift. This chairlift was a triple, which is their biggest. There are 6 chairlift's total and 13 trails. I had thought there were 18, but the trail map says 13.
You can see the sky starting to turn colors in this picture a little. I would have taken more sunset pictures, but the snow was blowing down on me at the top of the lift and I didn't want to get my camera covered! I did take a video while riding down the run once.

I'm glad you enjoyed the afternoon on the slopes so much. I really do want to ski that place with you this winter sometime - where I learned to ski! You'll have even more fun when you go with the ski club.
