The 2 2 2

Frisco

I had a window of time off yesterday and decided to hit Vail for some skiing. For those who haven’t been up there lately, there is finally some spring snow. I did my tele turns through at least a foot of powder while freezing my booty off every tele step of the way. And when I mean cold, I mean COLD. The good news was that it kept everyone else off the mountain. Open slopes for me, wahoo!

This morning on my way back I hit one of my favorite mountain trip pit stops. The log cabin cafe in Frisco is just off the interstate and is a great little spot to grab early morning grub either on your way to skiing or on the way back. I got there a little after 6 am and they were empty, but open which is the most important thing.

The log cabin cafe has this great breakfast called the 2 2 2. Its two pieces of bacon or sausage, two eggs, and two pancakes for under $5, or over $5 if you upgrade to french toast (which I recommend). This is one relaxed little mountain hut on the main road in Frisco that will fuel you up with tasty items.

Plus I just love the early hours of daybreak in the mountains. It is so quiet in the mountains, at least in the morning before the streets come alive. The white snow just starts to get this glow as the sun rises over the mountains. So peaceful and beautiful, its almost a shame what happens once everyone wakes up. This morning it was very beautiful with the haze of light snowfall filtering out the sun.

Beautiful morning, beautiful breakfast, beautiful way to start the day. Only wish I could have stayed to ski. Which for the record is what you should be doing right after you read this. Go do some turns! It is too easy to forget about the beauty of the mountains which is why you need to make a trip and remember.
Happy skiing. Life is short, enjoy it.
