We started our trip back at 8am, and 521 miles later we arrived in Abilene Kansas, home of the Dwight D Eisenhower Library and Museum. Included on-site of the Library and Museum is the home of the former President. The town is built around this exhibit and  next weekend the Eisenhower Marathon will be held.

Thursday was decision day. With a check of the weather forecast along rt 70, we decided to leave one day early and start our trip home on Friday. We used Thursday to clean the condo and pack the car. It wasn't really a good skiing day. While it snowed, the temps were in the high 30s and the snow felt more like rain. We are looking to leave around 8am.

Another 4 inches of snow this morning. We went to Keystone and found the slopes completely empty. The spring breakers have all gone home. The snow continued all day and again plenty of power trails.

Another 10 inches of snow fell again last night on the ski slopes. Not only do we need to be aware of avalanches on the mountain but also in the driveways. Alot of snow hanging over the roofs. The day was sunny and cold, perfect conditions to go to Breckenridge. Only someof the trails were groomed so there was plenty of POWER. The day was crystal clear and you could see for miles.

Winter is back. This morning we woke up to about 10 inches of new snow. It wasn't expected but it is welcome. The snow has continued thru the day and is expected to continue thru Thursday. Alot of POWER skiing. Typical spring conditions. This type of snow takes alot out of you.
